In re Amiah P.
Annotate this CaseThe family court terminated the parental rights of Father and Mother (collectively, Respondents) to their daughter, Amiah P., after finding that both parents presented troubling histories involving imprisonment and drugs, that both parents had been incarcerated and Father was currently incarcerated, and that Amiah had been in foster care for nearly two years and had bonded with her foster family. The Supreme Court affirmed the family court's decree, holding that there was ample evidence to support the trial justice's finding that the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families proved by clear and convincing evidence that Respondents were unfit parents and that the termination of their parental rights was in Amiah's best interests.
