Brown v. Ark. Dep't of Human Servs.

Jessica Brown appeals the Saline County Circuit Court's decision to award permanent custody of her daughters, J.K.1 and J.K.2, to their father (Jessica's ex-husband), Claude Kirby, and to close the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) case with respect to J.K.1 and J.K.2.1 On appeal, Jessica argues (1) she did not fail to protect her daughters and in fact took appropriate measures to keep them from harm, and (2) DHS failed to prove Claude was a fit and appropriate parent for placement of their daughters. We affirm the circuit court's award of permanent custody to Claude.
