Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 204915
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 95-333342
SARAH HARDIN,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
PRINCE VARNADO and COLEMAN COATES,
Respondents.
Before: Neff, P.J, and White and D. A. Teeple,* JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent mother appeals as of right from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights
to her three children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b) (3)(c)(i) and (g).
We affirm.
The juvenile court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination set forth
at MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g) were established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I);
In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Additionally, because respondent mother
failed to rebut the mandatory presumption that termination is clearly in the best interests of the children,
the juvenile court did not clearly err in terminating respondent mother’s parental rights. In re Hamlet
* Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.
