In the Matter of JUSTIN JAMES CALLOWAY
and TRE’VON ERNEST SCOTT, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
September 14, 2004
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 253168
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 00-394328
ANGELA ANN SCOTT, a/k/a ANGELA A.
SCOTT,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
HERMAN PARTEE,
Respondent.
Before: Donofrio, P.J., and White and Talbot, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent Scott appeals as of right from a circuit court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm.
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that at least one statutory ground for
termination had been proved by clear and convincing evidence. In re IEM, 233 Mich App 438,
450; 592 NW2d 751 (1999). Respondent had drug abuse problem and after repeated cycles of
treatment-relapse-treatment, she dropped out of treatment again and stopped complying with the
parent-agency agreement. Further, the trial court’s finding regarding the children’s best interests
was not clearly erroneous. In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 354, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000);
MCL 712A.19b(5). Therefore, the trial court did not clearly err in terminating respondent’s
parental rights. Trejo, supra.
