Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Frank A. Kreidler, Lake Worth, for appellant.

Jeffrey Dana Gillen, West Palm Beach, for appellee Department of Children and Families.

Wendie Michelle Cooper, Orlando, for appellee Guardian ad Litem Program.


STEVENSON, J.

In this case, a mother's parental rights to sons, E.C. and D.R. were terminated. To terminate parental rights, the State must establish (1) the existence of one of the statutory grounds set forth in chapter 39; (2) that termination is in the child's best interests; and (3) that termination is the least restrictive means of protecting the child from harm. See, e.g., C.M. v. Dep't of Children & Families, 953 So.2d 547
