Syllabus

The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in awarding temporary custody of appellant's children to a children's services agency. The court's decision was supported by competent, credible evidence. Appellant's trial counsel also did not act ineffectively by failing to call appellant's therapist as a witness. This choice was a matter of trial strategy, and appellant's unsubstantiated statement at trial that his therapist would have testified as to his completion of his case plan was irrelevant. Judgments affirmed.
