In re Children of Anthony M.

The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of the district court terminating Mother’s and Father’s parental rights to their two older children pursuant to Me. Rev. Stat. 22, 4055(1)(A)(1)(a) and (B)(2)(a), holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the determination of parental unfitness and that the court did not err by concluding that termination of the parents’ parental rights was in the best interests of the children.Specifically, the Court held (1) competent evidence in the record existed to support both of the two types of parental unfitness found by the district court; and (2) the court’s findings, based on clear and convincing evidence in the record, were sufficient to support its determination that the termination of each parent’s parental rights was in the best interests of the children.
