How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding a father’s failure to protect one child from abuse justified termination of his rights to another child
• considering the duration between the incidents and proceedings, three years, and between the prior adjudication and proceedings, nine months, were not too remote
• finding sufficient constitutional nexus to terminate father’s rights to child born nine months after termination of his rights to other child where circumstances of prior abuse persisted
• extending constitutional nexus to children not yet born when previous abuse occurred
• extending constitutional nexus to children not yet born when previous abuse occurred
• affirming the juvenile court’s finding that termination was appro priate because although child was born three years after the incidents involving the prior abuse, a sufficient nexus existed between the prior abuse and the risk that such abuse would occur to the child
