Syllabus

Children services agency was under no duty to investigate all possible relative placements for a child before seeking permanent custody of the child. The juvenile court did not err when it found that placement of the child with Maternal Grandmother was not in the best interest of the child. Mother failed to establish that her trial counsel provided ineffective assistance of counsel at the permanent custody hearing. The juvenile court reasonably concluded that awarding permanent custody to children services was in the child's best interest. Judgment affirmed.
