Miriam Krantz and Albert Krantz v. Arkansas Department of Human Services

Summary

The court affirmed termination of the Krantzes' parental rights to their six children. It rejected or declined to reach the parents' constitutional, evidentiary, and statutory challenges, concluding that the circuit court did not clearly err in finding potential harm if the children were returned to the Krantzes. The court relied on the record showing the parents' continued dependence on the ministry, refusal to obtain independent housing and employment, and refusal to comply with case-plan requirements.
