UNPUBLISHED

In the Matter of D. ROBINSON a/k/a D. MOORE,
Minor.
No. 298303
Kent Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 10-050241-NA
Before: HOEKSTRA, P.J., and CAVANAGH and BORRELLO, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Respondent appeals as of right the order of the trial court terminating her parental rights
to her minor child pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(i), (j), and (l). We affirm.
Respondent contends that the trial court erred in finding that clear and convincing
evidence supported termination under the statutory provisions. We disagree. It is undisputed
both in the record below and on appeal that respondent’s parental rights to six children, all
siblings of the child in this case, were terminated previously after being brought within the
jurisdiction of the trial court under MCL 712A.2(b). The record reflects that those terminations
were the result of respondent’s chaotic and often criminal behavior that led to neglect of the
children. The record further demonstrates that respondent’s ongoing criminal activity,
occasional incarceration, and continued association with a man already convicted of child abuse
would endanger the child. For the same reasons, we also find no error in the trial court’s finding
that termination was in the best interests of the child. MCL 712A.19b(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich
341, 354; 612 NW2d 407 (2000).
Affirmed.
