State ex rel. Juvenile Department v. V.J.C.

This case involves four children, ages four through ten. The circuit court for Polk County by order terminated the parental rights of the putative fathers of the children after hearing and no appeal was taken from that order. Likewise, after hearing, the court terminated the parental rights of the mother in all four children. The mother appeals, assigning as error the admission into evidence of the Children’s Services Division (CSD) file, admission of the testimony of an evaluating psychiatrist, and the court’s determination that the evidence was sufficient to support termination.
