Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 241124
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 00-390475
ERICA M. BOWEN,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
WASKEEM BRADLEY,
Respondent.
Before: Markey, P.J., and White and Zahra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by right from the trial court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm.
After carefully reviewing the record, we are satisfied that the trial 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 Sours, 459 Mich 624, 633; 593 NW2d 520 (1999). Respondentappellant failed to comply with the essential aspects of her treatment plan and made little
progress despite extensive time, opportunity, and encouragement. Respondent lacked the
maturity to provide proper care and custody of her child. Further, the evidence did not show that
termination of respondent-appellant’s parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests.
MCL 712A.19b(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Thus, the trial
court did not clearly err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the minor child.
We affirm.
