STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of SUMMER MICHELLE
CAMPBELL and JAMES COREY IRONS,
Minors.
DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES,

Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 270610
Oakland Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 05-706227-NA
BEVERLY DAWN CAMPBELL,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Murphy, P.J., and Smolenski and Kelly, JJ.
KELLY, J. (Concurring).
I concur in the majority’s conclusion that the trial court did not clearly err in terminating
respondent’s parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A..19b(3)(b) (g), and (j).
However, I do not believe the record in this case supports termination under MCL 712.A19b(i)
as there was no evidence, let alone clear and convincing evidence, to establish any physical
injury. However, if a trial court determines that one or more statutory grounds for termination
has been established by clear and convincing evidence, the trial court must terminate
respondent’s parental rights unless it determines that to do so is clearly not in the child’s best
interests. In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 353-354; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Accordingly, termination
was proper in this case because clear and convincing evidence was produced to support
termination under MCL 712A..19b(3)(b) (g), and (j). I also concur that the termination of her
parental rights was not contrary to the children’s best interests.
/s/ Kirsten Frank Kelly
