In Re Tyler A.

Syllabus

This action involves the termination of a mother's parental rights to her minor child. Following a bench trial, the trial court found that clear and convincing evidence existed to establish the following statutory grounds of termination: (1) abandonment for failure to establish a suitable home (2) the persistence of conditions which led to removal (3) substantial noncompliance with the permanency plan (4) failure to manifest an ability and willingness to care for the child and (5) a present mental condition affecting the mother's ability to adequately parent. The court also found that termination was in the best interest of the child. We affirm the trial court.
