In re Kristin Y., et al.
Annotate this CaseIn 2010, the circuit court terminated the custodial and visitation rights of a mother to her four children but did not terminate her parental rights to the children. The Department of Health and Human Resources and the children's guardian ad litem appealed, arguing that the circuit court erred when it failed to terminate all parental rights of the mother. The Supreme Court concluded that the facts as developed demonstrated no reasonable likelihood that the conditions of neglect or abuse could be substantially corrected in the near future and that the circuit court's order deprived the children of the permanency they need. In light of the children's best interests, the Court reversed the judgment of the circuit court.
