Outcome
The trial court terminated the mother's parental rights and granted permanent custody of the child to Lucas County Children Services. The Court of Appeals affirmed this decision.
Excerpt
Anders appeal. The trial court did not err when it terminated appellant's parental rights because the decision was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The child could not be placed with either parent within a reasonable time and should not be placed with either parent, and termination of appellant's parental rights was in the child's best interest. Judgment affirmed.
