In re Daniel H.
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the termination of the parental rights of Mother and Father due to persistent concerns about the child’s basic health and safety, the parents’ inability to understand and respond to the child’s needs, Mother’s intellectual limitations, Father’s violence, and the parents’ history of substance abuse. Specifically, the Court held (1) there was competent evidence in the record to support the district court’s finding, by clear and convincing evidence, of one or more grounds of parental unfitness as to each parent; and (2) the court did not abuse its discretion in determining that termination of each parent’s parental rights was in the child’s best interest.
