<bold>Termination of Parental Rights — failure to appoint</bold> <bold>guardian ad litem for parent — mental illness</bold> <block_quote> The trial court erred in a termination of parental rights case by failing to hold a hearing to determine respondent mother's entitlement under N.C.G.S. § <cross_reference>7B-1111</cross_reference>(a)(6) to the appointment of<page_number>Page 388</page_number> a guardian ad litem at the hearing where the minor child was adjudicated neglected, and the case is remanded for appointment of a guardian ad litem for respondent and a new hearing. Although the trial court did not terminate respondent's parental rights by specifically relying on dependency, the mother's mental health issues were present throughout the permanency planning reviews and were so intertwined with the child's neglect as to obviate consideration of the termination order without concurrent consideration of the mental issues that were present.</block_quote>
