In re Child of Angela S.
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), (iv), holding that competent evidence supported the court's finding that Mother was parentally unfit and the court's conclusion that termination of Mother's parental rights was in the child's best interest.
On appeal, Mother argued that there was insufficient evidence to support the court's findings of at least one ground of parental unfitness and that termination was in the child's best interest. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding (1) there was competent evidence in the record to support the finding of parental unfitness; and (2) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that termination of Mother's parental rights was in the child's best interest.
