In the Interest of D. F.

Termination of the mother's parental rights was warranted where she failed to comply with her case plan and both a clinical psychologist and foster care case manager opined that removing her children from their foster parents would be harmful.

This termination of parental rights case was previously before us. In the Interest of D. F. , 251 Ga. App. 859 555 SE2d 225 2001. There, this Court concluded that clear and convincing evidence did not support the juvenile court’s finding in June 2000, that continued deprivation would “cause or is likely to cause serious physical, mental, emotional, or moral harm to the children.” OCGA § 15-11-94 b 4 A. J. R. appeals the July 1, 2002 Juvenile Court order terminating her parental rights to D. F., I. F., and A. F.1 following remand, a second petition to terminate her parental rights, and additional hearings held pursuant to In the Interest of D. F. , supra.

1. In her first and second enumerations, J. R. argues that the juvenile court erred in terminating her rights because the State did not prove parental misconduct or inability as required by OCGA § 15-11-94 and did not prove that termination was in the best interest of the children.
