1Opinion of the CourtLeach, J.
¶1 The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), joined by the court appointed special advocate (CASA), appeals from the superior court’s orders dismissing its petitions to terminate Peter Tsimbalyuk’s *260parental rights to his three children.1 Appellants argue the court erred in applying RCW 13.34.180(l)(f), the sixth element of the parental rights termination statute. We grant discretionary review of this issue because we agree that the court committed obvious error in applying RCW 13.34.180(l)(f). We reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
