In re J.A.B.

by
Mother was the birth mother of L.M.F. and J.A.B. Father was the birth father of J.A.B. Due to Mother’s and Father’s drug use, the Department filed a petition for termination of Mother and Father’s parental rights with respect to J.A.B. and for termination of Mother’s parental rights with respect to L.M.F. After a hearing, the district court terminated Mother’s parental rights to L.M.F. and J.A.B. and Father’s rights to J.A.B. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding the district court did not err (1) in terminating Mother’s parental rights to L.M.F. on the basis that Mother failed to complete her treatment plan and that her condition was unlikely to change within a reasonable time; and (2) in terminating Mother and Father’s parental rights as to J.A.B. without reunification services on the basis that they had subjected L.M.F. to aggravated circumstances.
