In re Child of Megan D.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of the district court terminating Mother's parental rights to her child pursuant to Me. Rev. Stat. 22, 4055(1)(B)(2)(a), (b)(i)-(ii), holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the district court's determination of parental unfitness and that termination of Mother's parental rights was in the best interest of the child.
Based on the testimony presented at the termination hearing and other evidence the court found, by clear and convincing evidence, that Mother was unwilling or unable to protect the child from jeopardy or to take responsibility for child within a time reasonably calculated to meet the child's needs, and that termination of Mother's parental rights was in the best interest of the child. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that there was competent evidence in the record to support the court's findings.
