Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Susan Cox, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Potterfield, P.J., and Tabor and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (4 pages)
A mother appeals the juvenile court’s termination of her parental rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) and (g) (2018), arguing termination was not warranted because the child could have been returned to her care. OPINION HOLDS: Because we conclude the child could not be safely returned home at the time of the termination hearing, we affirm.
