Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 202212
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 90-285047
SUSAN WALKER,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
WILLIAM DAVIS, JR., and ROOSEVELT
MARTIN,
Respondents.
Before: MacKenzie, P.J., and Hood and Hoekstra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals pursuant to a delayed application for leave to appeal granted
from the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL
712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (c)(i), (g), and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(i), (c)(i), (g), and (j). We affirm.
The juvenile court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161
(1989); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). The juvenile court
did not prematurely terminate respondent-appellant’s parental rights. Petitioner worked with
respondent-appellant on and off since 1990 and she was unable to make any real progress in her ability
-1
to care for the children on her own during that time. Respondent-appellant was provided with adequate
services to assist her in working on her treatment plan, but she failed to take full advantage of the
services offered. Furthermore, there was no likelihood that she could provide proper care in the near
future.
Affirmed.
