Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Marshall County, Paul G. Crawford, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (7 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his toddler daughter. He contends the State did not prove the statutory grounds for termination. OPINION HOLDS: Because we agree with the juvenile court that the child cannot be safely placed in the father’s custody at the present time, we affirm the termination order.
