PARENTAL TERMINATION — R.C. 2151.414(B)(1)(a) — R.C. 2151.353(E) — BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD: The juvenile court's order terminating appellant-father's parental rights and granting permanent custody of two children to the child-services agency was supported by sufficient evidence and not against the weight of the evidence where father failed to attend drug screenings as required by the case plan, was indicted on felony drug-trafficking charges during the pendency of the case, and could not establish that he had any stable income or housing, which constituted clear and convincing evidence supporting the juvenile court's findings that the children could not or should not be placed with father within a reasonable time and that permanent custody to the child-services agency was in the children's best interest.
