SEARCH CASE SUMMARY

Mother appeals the trial court’s termination of her parental rights. She argues that the trial court erred in holding that clear and convincing evidence established that she engaged in conduct exhibiting a wanton disregard for the welfare of the child prior to her incarceration and that termination was in the child’s best interest. We have determined that there is clear and convincing evidence in the record to support both of the trial court’s findings. We affirm.	Crockett County	Court of Appeals
In Re Zoey O. Et Al. E2022-00500-COA-R3-PT Mother appeals the trial court’s termination of her parental rights as to her two oldest children. As grounds for termination the trial court found abandonment for failure to provide a suitable home, substantial noncompliance with the permanency plan, persistent conditions, severe child abuse, and failure to manifest a willingness and ability to assume custody. The trial court also found that termination was in the best interest of both children. We find that clear and convincing evidence supports the trial court’s findings as to the grounds for termination and the best interests of the children. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgment. Authoring Judge: Judge Jeffrey Usman Originating Judge:Judge Timothy E. Irwin		Court of Appeals
