In re Child of Amber D.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of the district court terminating Mother's parental rights to her child pursuant to Me. Rev. Stat. 22, 4055(1)(B)(2)(a), (b)(i), (ii), holding that there was sufficient record evidence to support the court's findings of parental unfitness and best interest by clear and convincing evidence.
The court terminated Mother's parental rights to the child on the grounds that Mother was unable to protect the child from jeopardy and unable to take responsibility for the child and that these circumstances were unlikely to change in a time reasonably calculated to meet the child's needs. The court further found that termination of Mother's rights was in the child's best interest. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that there was no abuse of discretion in the court's determination that the termination of Mother's parental rights was in the child's best interest.
