In re A.S.
Annotate this CaseIn two separate proceedings, the district court adjudicated A.S. and A.M., the biological children of Mother and Father, as youths in need of care. The district court subsequently filed a petition for termination of parental rights as to Mother for both A.S. and A.M., and as to Father for A.S. After a hearing, the district court entered orders terminating Mother and Father’s parental rights. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not abuse its discretion or violate Mother’s constitutional rights by terminating Mother’s parental rights to A.S. and A.M. after finding that the conduct or condition rendering Mother unfit to parent was unlikely to change within a reasonable time; and (2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in terminating Father’s parental rights to A.S.
