Order
Per Curiam:
Q.L. (Father) appeals the trial court's judgment terminating his parental rights to his son, C.M. Father argues that the trial court's findings regarding the statutory grounds for termination are against the weight of the evidence and that the evidence does not support a finding that termination was in C.M.’s best interests. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
