In re G.T.
Annotate this CaseThis appeal concerned the third petition brought by the Department of Health and Human Services to terminate the parental rights of Parents to their two sons. The court denied two prior petitions. After a hearing on the third petition, the court terminated Parents’ parental rights, finding that Parents were unable to protect the children from jeopardy and that the circumstances were unlikely to change within a reasonable time. The court also determined that termination was in the children’s best interests. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that the record supported the court’s finding of parental unfitness and its determination that termination was in each child’s best interest.
