Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 281449
Muskegon Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 06-035254-NA
SHAWN MARIE DAILEY,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: O’Connell, P.J., and Borrello and Gleicher, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from a circuit court order terminating her parental rights
to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i) and (ii), (h), and (k)(ii). We affirm.
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination
were established by clear and convincing evidence. In re Archer, 277 Mich App 71, 73; ___
NW2d ___ (2007). Respondent arranged for her oldest daughter to be sexually abused by
respondent’s boyfriend so that he would not leave respondent while respondent was temporarily
unable to engage in sexual relations. Respondent was convicted of three counts of third-degree
criminal sexual conduct, MCL 750.520d, and was serving a prison sentence of 12 to 22-1/2
years.
Further, the evidence did not clearly show that termination of respondent’s parental rights
was not in the children’s best interests. In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 354; 612 NW2d 407 (2000);
MCL 712A.19b(5). Therefore, the trial court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental
rights to the children. In re Trejo, supra at 356-357.
Affirmed.
/s/ Peter D. O’Connell
/s/ Stephen L. Borrello
