Syllabus

Permanent custody; legal custody; clear and convincing evidence; best interest of the child; sexual abuse. The trial court's decision to place the youngest child in the permanent custody of the agency and to place the older children in the legal custody of the paternal grandmother was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Although Mother completed portions of her case plan, she was not substantially compliant and remained under indictment for the rape of her oldest child.
