In re the termination of parental rights to ISABEL K., a person under the age of 18. Eau Claire County Department of Human Services, Petitioner–Respondent, v. Kenneth S., Respondent–Appellant, Christine K., Respondent.
Crawford gave Kenneth an extra year to complete the conditions for return. However, he failed to comply and the County then petitioned to terminate Kenneth's parental rights. Christine stated she and Kenneth “were getting along until ... I placed her basically.” Christine stopped visiting Isabel in 2012 because she went to the United Kingdom for three months. When her counsel asked if she left for the United Kingdom in part to get away from Kenneth, Christine agreed, but stated there were many reasons. She also testified she believed Kenneth was happy she was gone.
