December 20, 2010243 P.3d 244
Summary
The court reversed the court of appeals and reinstated the trial court's order terminating the mother's parental rights to her daughter and son. It held that the court of appeals improperly substituted its assessment of witness credibility and evidentiary weight for the trial court's findings and failed to apply the clearly erroneous standard. The record supported by clear and convincing evidence that the mother was unfit and that her condition was unlikely to change within a reasonable time.
