1Opinion of the CourtDupont, C. J.
The respondent appeals from the judgment that terminated her parental rights with respect to her minor son. The respondent contends (1) that the federal and state constitutions1 imposed a duty on the trial court to hold a hearing to determine if she was competent to understand the termination proceeding and to assist counsel effectively and (2) that she was ineffectively represented by counsel. The respondent does not challenge the merits of the court’s judgment.2 We affirm the trial court’s decision to terminate her parental rights.
Alexander Y. was born to the respondent on July 14, 1985.…
