Alaska Supreme Court

Sean B., Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Health & Social Services, Office of Children's Services, Appellee

January 21, 20112011 Alas. LEXIS 3

Summary

The court affirmed termination of Sean's parental rights because clear and convincing evidence supported the findings that he abandoned Josh, failed to remedy the conduct placing Josh at risk, and received reasonable reunification efforts from the State. The court also upheld the finding that termination served Josh's best interests and rejected Sean's statutory, evidentiary, and harmless-error arguments.
