Mark v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 16.1-283(B), appellee department of social services (DSS) filed a petition to terminate the residual parental rights of appellant mother to her children. The Circuit Court of Fairfax, Virginia, granted the petition. The mother appealed. The mother challenged the sufficiency of the evidence to support the terminations. The evidence showed that the children had suffered serious neglect while under the mother's care. In several instances, she failed to protect one child from sexual abuse, and the child had contracted a sexually transmitted disease at age five. Both children were exposed to repeated domestic violence in the home. Through years of contact with DSS, the mother's progress toward the goals precedent to reunification with her children was sporadic at best. At the time of the termination hearing, nearly two and one-half years since the children were finally removed from her care, they had been placed with a foster family that wanted to adopt them. Both had made significant progress since removal from their mother's home. The appellate court held that clear and convincing evidence proved that termination of the mother's parental rights was in the best interests of the children. The judgment was affirmed.
