In re Kendra M.
Annotate this CaseThe Mother of three children appealed from an order of the county court, sitting as a juvenile court, terminating her parental rights to the three minor children. Paternal rights were not at issue in this case. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the lower court did not err in terminating Mother's parental rights to her three children, holding (1) clear and convincing evidence showed that Mother's personal deficiencies prevented her from performing her reasonable parental obligations to the three children in the past and would likely prevent her from doing so in the future, and accordingly, the presumption of fitness was rebutted; and (2) clear and convincing evidence showed that terminating Mother's parental right would be in the children's best interests.
