Respondent.
Before: Gribbs, P.J., and Doctoroff and T.L. Ludington*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
In these consolidated cases respondents appeal as of right from the family court order
terminating their parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j). We affirm. This appeal is being decided without oral argument
pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
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). Furthermore, respondents have not established that the family court abused its
discretion by declining to interview the children in camera. The family court did not clearly err in
terminating respondents’ parental rights to the children. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472
473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
Affirmed.
