In re Gabriella A.

Summary

The court affirmed the termination of the respondent mother's parental rights because sufficient evidence supported the trial court's finding that she was unable to benefit from reunification services within a reasonable time consistent with Gabriella's age and needs. The court held that the petitioner was not required to prove both reasonable reunification efforts and the parent's inability to benefit, because either statutory showing was sufficient. The court declined to reach whether the petitioner had made reasonable efforts, and instead upheld the judgment on the inability-to-benefit ground.
