Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Floyd County, Karen Kaufman Salic, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (9 pages)
A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights to their children, claiming the State failed to prove the grounds for termination cited by the juvenile court, termination is not in the children’s best interests, and the court should apply a permissive exception to preclude termination. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we affirm both appeals.
