In re B.T.J.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the trial court terminating Mother's parental rights to her minor child, holding that the trial court properly adjudicated at least one ground for termination.
The Rowan County Department of Social Services (DSS) filed a petition seeking to terminate Mother's parental rights on the grounds of neglect and willfully leaving her child in a placement outside the home for more than twelve months without making reasonable progress toward correcting the conditions that led to his removal. After a hearing, the trial court entered an order terminating Mother's parental rights, concluding that DSS had proven both alleged grounds for termination and that termination was in the child's best interests. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court properly determined that Mother's parental rights could be terminated based on neglect.
