In re Interest of Alec S.

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that the State proved by clear and convincing evidence that terminating Brenda G.'s parental rights was in Alec's best interests. The court relied on Brenda's persistent mental health, substance-abuse, housing, visitation, and rehabilitation difficulties, despite some late improvements, and distinguished the materially weaker evidentiary record in the precedent relied upon by the Court of Appeals.
