Charleston County Department of Social Services v. King
Supreme Court of South Carolina
Decided May 22, 2006No. 26152PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Justice MOORE:
This petition arises out of a dispute over the termination of parental rights of a biological mother as to her youngest child. The family court found the grounds were met for terminating the mother’s parental rights and that doing so was in the best interests of the child. The Court of Appeals reversed, upholding one ground for termination but finding the best interests of the child would be served by preserving the biological mother’s parental rights.
