In Re Zayda C.

Syllabus

This action involves the termination of a father's parental rights to his child. Following a bench trial, the court found that clear and convincing evidence existed to establish the following statutory grounds of termination: (1) abandonment by wanton disregard; (2) incarceration for a period of ten or more years; and (3) the persistence of conditions which led to removal. The court also found that termination was in the best interest of the child. We affirm the trial court's ultimate termination decision.
