A mother appeals the juvenile court’s termination of her parental rights, claiming that the statutory ground was not satisfied, and that termination is not in the children’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: Due to the mother’s domestically violent relationship with the children’s father, we hold the statutory ground was met and terminating the mother’s parental rights was in the children’s best interests.
