Syllabus

Venue; permanent custody; R.C. 2151.353(A)(4); R.C. 2151.414(E); R.C. 2151.414(D)(1); sufficiency of the evidence; manifest weight of the evidence; clear and convincing evidence. Judgment affirmed. The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in declining to transfer the case to a different county. Moreover, the Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services (\CCDCFS\) presented clear and convincing evidence to establish certain R.C. 2151.414(E) and 2151.414(D)(1) factors, as required by R.C. 2151.353(A)(4). Accordingly, the juvenile court's decision is supported by sufficient evidence and is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Therefore, the juvenile court did not err when it granted permanent custody to CCDCFS.
