In Re Walter B.

Case Number
M2020-00069-COA-R3-PT

The trial court terminated a father’s parental rights on the ground of severe child abuse.  The father argues that the trial court erred in finding that he committed severe child abuse and in finding termination to be in the child’s best interest.  He asserts that there was no evidence that he knew or should have known about the child’s injuries.  In light of all of the facts, including the nature of the child’s injuries, the medical evidence, and the trial court’s finding concerning the father’s credibility, we conclude that the trial court did not err in terminating the father’s parental rights.
