__________________________________________
In the Matter of DONTA ALFONSO LEE TILL and
AISHA SHANEA MURPHY, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
February 5, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
VERONICA JEAN TILL,
No. 210500
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 90-288673
Respondent-Appellant,
and
JUAN SILVARRA and ALFONSO MURPHY,
Respondents.
Before: Sawyer, P.J., and Wahls and Hoekstra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm.
The juvenile court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974; In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of her parental rights
was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re
Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
Id.
Affirmed.
