In the Matter of the Parental Rights to S.L.P.
- In 2022, the Department of Children, Youth, and Families took S.L.P. into custody after a 911 call from a concerned individual who reported S.L.P. looked injured. His father signed an agreed order of dependency and was given visitation with S.L.P. but it was terminated because S.L.P. struggled with nightmares and dysregulated behavior. The father’s rights were later terminated. He appeals asserting that the Department failed to offer all reasonably available court-ordered and necessary services and failed to establish that continuation of the parent/child relationship would clearly diminish S.L.P.’s prospects for early integration into a stable and permanent home.
