In the Matter of the Termination of Parental Rights To: Ccc, Ccc and Ccc, Minor Children, Hailey Nicole Keller v…

Summary

The court affirmed the termination of both parents’ parental rights to the three children. It held that the Department’s procedural shortcomings did not improperly affect Father’s fundamental parental rights, and Father abandoned any challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence under the independent statutory ground. As to Mother, the court held that the termination statute does not require proof of reasonable reunification efforts and that clear and convincing evidence established her unfitness. No separate opinions were filed.
