FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED

Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 258382
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 03-425975
REVA JEAN DAVIS-OLSON,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
RICHARD OLSON and LUTHER POTTER,
Respondents.
Before: Bandstra, P.J., and Fitzgerald and Meter, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the trial court’s order terminating her
parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(ii). We affirm.
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory ground for termination was
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 3.977(J); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337;
445 NW2d 161 (1989). The record contained clear and convincing evidence that respondentappellant repeatedly placed her two minor children in the care of her husband, respondent Olson,
despite her knowledge of his history of sexually abusing young children and despite repeated
warnings by the caseworkers not to leave the children alone with him. Furthermore, respondentappellant’s refusal to leave a relationship she admitted was harmful to her children and refusal to
heed warnings not to leave her children alone with Olson demonstrated there was a reasonable
likelihood that the children would suffer further abuse if left in respondent-appellant’s care.
The trial court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the
children.
