Ind. Decisions - Supreme Court issues one today
In Term. of Parent-Child Rel. of G.Y.; R.Y. v. IDCS, a 14-page, 4-1 opinion, Justice Sullivan writes:
The trial court terminated R.Y.'s parental rights on grounds that the conditions which resulted in her son G.Y.'s removal will not be remedied and that termination is in G.Y.'s best interests. The Court of Appeals affirmed. Concluding that the evidence does not clearly and convincingly demonstrate that R.Y.‟s parental rights should be terminated, we reverse the judgment of the trial court. * * *Boehm, Justice [whose dissent begins]
I respectfully dissent and agree with the Court of Appeals that the trial court's judgment terminating the mother's parental rights should be affirmed.
