Z.C. v. Department of Children & Families

937 So. 2d 1252, 2006 Fla. App. LEXIS 16208, 2006 WL 2789193

District Court of Appeal of Florida·Decided September 28, 2006·No. No. 5D06-1468·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Z.C., the mother, timely appeals the trial court’s order terminating her parental rights to her daughter, L.M. It would serve no useful purpose to recite the tragic facts of this case that demonstrate egregious abuse inflicted upon L.M.’s siblings. Suffice it to say that our review of the record supports the trial judge’s conclusion that the termination of Z.C.’s parental rights is in the manifest best interests of L.M. and is the least restrictive means of preventing harm to the child. See M.H. v. Dep’t of Children & Families, 866 So.2d 220 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment.

AFFIRMED.

PLEUS, C.J., GRIFFIN and ORFINGER, JJ., concur.
