Supreme Court of Arkansas

Greg Seago v. Arkansas Department of Human Services

April 28, 20112011 Ark. LEXIS 174

Summary

The court affirmed termination of Seago’s parental rights, concluding that his religious-liberty challenge, hearsay challenge to recorded conversations, and sufficiency challenge failed. The court held that clear and convincing evidence supported the findings that Seago had not remedied the conditions leading to removal because he refused to obtain housing and employment independent of TACM, despite DHS’s meaningful efforts, and that returning the children would threaten their health and safety.
