Summary
The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the termination of X.G.C.'s parental rights, holding that the statutory prerequisites for termination in a reunification case were satisfied and that the evidence established parental unfitness by clear and convincing evidence. The court held that the reunification requirements remained applicable even after the permanency plan changed to termination and that the youth court's findings were adequately supported by the record. No separate opinions were filed.
