In the Interest of: E.G. v. Juvenile Officer
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed the judgment of the Circuit Court of Jefferson County terminating a father's parental rights to his child. The father had been convicted of two felony violations, each involving a child victim. The father appealed the decision, arguing that his felony violations were not statutory grounds justifying the termination of his parental rights, that these grounds should be declared unconstitutional, and that there was insufficient evidence to declare him an unfit parent. However, the Supreme Court found that the father's first two arguments were not preserved for appeal and therefore declined to address them. The court ruled that there was sufficient evidence to terminate the father's parental rights, upholding the lower court's decision. The court found the termination was in the best interest of the child.
