By order dated April 15, 1999, the Cobb County Juvenile Court terminated the parental rights of V. M. T.’s parents. In Case Number A00A0480, the father appeals, and in Case Number A00A0481, the mother appeals. As both appeals involve the same operative facts, we have consolidated the cases, and we affirm.

V. M. T. was born on November 25, 1996. At that time, V. M. T.’s parents, who were unmarried, lived with the father’s family. On or around January 17, 1997, the mother noticed that her baby’s head seemed swollen, but she did not take her to the hospital. On January 19, 1997, the grandmother noticed that V. M. T. was “just limp” and “knew something was wrong with her.” The grandmother then called 911, and paramedics took V. M. T., who was in cardiac arrest, to Scottish Rite Hospital. At the hospital, doctors discovered that V. M. T. had a skull fracture, nine broken ribs, and two broken legs. As a result of her massive injuries, V. M. T. must use a feeding tube. She is brain-damaged and unable to walk or see.
