In re M.C.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the orders of the trial court terminating Mother's parental rights to her three children, holding that the trial court did not err in adjudicating the existence of grounds to terminate Mother's parental rights under N.C. Gen. Stat. 7B-1111(a)(1).
The trial court concluded that grounds existed to terminate Mother's parental rights under N.C. Gen. Stat. 7B-1111(a)(1), (2), and (6). Mother appealed, challenging the existence of all three grounds to terminate her parental rights. The Supreme Court addressed only Mother's arguments as to the ground of neglect under section 7B-1111(a)(1) and affirmed, holding (1) the challenged findings of fact were supported by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence; and (2) the findings of fact supported the trial court's conclusion that clear and convincing evidence supported the trial court's conclusion that grounds existed to terminate Mother's parental rights for neglect.
