In re L.D.
Annotate this CaseAfter a hearing, the district court terminated the parental rights of Father to his minor child. The Supreme Judicial Court (1) affirmed the judgment as to termination of Father’s parental rights, holding that the court rationally could have found that Father was unable to protect his child from jeopardy or take responsibility for his child within a reasonable time frame, that Father did not make a good faith effort to reunify, and that termination of Father’s parental rights was in the child’s best interest; and (2) dismissed the appeal in all other respects, holding that the denial of Father’s placement request was not subject to appellate review.
