In the INTEREST OF C.G., a child Stephanie Morse, L.M.S.W., Buffalo Bridges Human Service Zone, Petitioner and Appellee v. C.G., child, Respondent R.M., father; B.G., mother, Respondents and Appellants
In the Interest of K.K., a child Stephanie Morse, L.M.S.W., Buffalo Bridges Human Service Zone, Petitioner and Appellee v. K.K., child; B.K., father, Respondents B.G., mother, Respondent and Appellant
[¶1] B.G. and R.M. appeal from a juvenile court order terminating their parental rights to C.G. and K.K. B.G. is C.G.’s and K.K.’s mother. R.M. is C.G.’s father. After hearings in February and March 2021, the juvenile court found the children were deprived, the deprivation was likely to continue, and the children had been in foster care for at least 450 out of the previous 660 nights. N.D.C.C. §§ 27-20-44(1)(c)(1) and (2). The court also found that R.M. abandoned C.G. N.D.C.C. § 27-20-44(1)(a). The court terminated B.G.’s and R.M.’s parental rights.
[¶2] On appeal, B.G. and R.M. argue the juvenile court erred by finding there was clear and convincing evidence to terminate their parental rights. After reviewing the record, we conclude the court's findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence and are not clearly erroneous. We conclude the court did not abuse its discretion in terminating B.G.’s and R.M.’s parental rights. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4).
Per Curiam.
