OPINION
PER CURIAM
[¶1] J.S., Sr., and K.V. appeal from a juvenile court order affirming a judicial referee's findings of fact and order terminating their parental rights over their child, J.S., Jr. They argue that the juvenile court abused its discretion, and J.S., Sr., argues the trial court erred in finding the child was "in need of protection" and that the causes thereof were likely to continue. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4).
