Dept. of Children's Services vs. D.S.

The parental rights of the petitioner (Mother) to her child , "R.", born January 29, 1997 during her Mother's incarceration, were terminated upon a finding that statutory grounds therefore were proved by clear and convincing evidence. Weighing very carefully the Mother's constitutional right to care for her child, on the one hand, and the best interests of the child, on the other, we vacate the judgment and remand for further proceedings.
