Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Des Moines County, Emily Dean, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (5 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to four of her children. She contends the State failed to meet its burden in proving the children could not be returned to her care, and that termination of her parental rights was in the children’s best interests. She also argues the juvenile court erred in declining to grant her a six-month extension or place the children in a guardianship. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find the State met its burden and the juvenile court did not err, we affirm.
