In re K.D.C.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed the orders of the trial court terminating Mother's parental rights to her two children, holding that the trial court erred in finding that grounds existed to terminate Mother's parental rights pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. 7B-1111(a)(1), (2) and (6) and that it was in the children's best interests to terminate Mother's parental rights to both children.
The trial court determined that grounds existed to terminate Mother's parental rights based on neglect, failure to make reasonable progress, and dependency. On appeal, Mother challenged two of the trial court's findings of fact as being unsupported by the evidence. The Supreme Court reversed, holding (1) portions of the trial court's findings were not supported by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence; and (2) the trial court's findings of fact did not support its conclusions of law that grounds existed to terminate Mother's parental rights.
