Syllabus

CHILDREN – PARENTAL TERMINATION – CUSTODY: The juvenile court did not err in granting permanent custody of five children to the Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services where clear and convincing evidence showed that mother had not remedied the conditions that caused the children to be placed outside the home, the children's fathers had abandoned them, and various relatives could not provide a legally secure placement for the children. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in overruling custody petitions filed by the children's relatives where competent, credible evidence supported the court's determination that it was not in the children's best interest to grant custody to those relatives.
