In re Mya E.

by
Mother appealed from a judgment of the district court terminating her parental rights to her child. Mother’s parental rights were terminated largely due to her chronic substance abuse and mental health issues. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that the district court’s findings indicating that Mother was unwilling or unable to protect the child from jeopardy and take responsibility for the child in a time reasonably calculated to meet the child’s needs were supported by clear and convincing evidence. Further, the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that it was in the child’s best interest to terminate Mother’s parental rights. View "In re Mya E." on Justia Law
