In the Matter of TOMMY LEE HENSLEY, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
November 30, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 218362
Monroe Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-012711 NA
TINA HENSLEY,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Jansen, P.J., and Hoekstra and J. R. Cooper*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from a family court order terminating her parental rights to the
minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j).
We affirm.
The family court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent failed to show that termination of her parental rights was
clearly not in the child’s bests interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re HallSmith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the family court did not err in
terminating respondent’s parental rights to the child.
Affirmed.
