Argued September 28, 1993
Decision released November 9, 1993
Petitions by the commissioner of children and youth services to terminate the parental rights of the respondents with respect to their two minor children, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of New London, Juvenile Matters at Uncasville, and tried to the court, R. Walsh, J.; judgment terminating the respondents' parental rights, from which the respondent father appealed to this court. Affirmed.
Barbara J. Claire, for the appellant (respondent father).
Benjamin Zivyon, assistant attorney general, with whom, on the brief, were Richard Blumenthal, attorney general, and Susan T. Pearlman, assistant attorney general, for the appellee (petitioner).
We have fully reviewed the records and briefs and considered the oral arguments of the parties. The appeal largely relies on fact bound issues. The trial court's findings are supported by the evidence and the inferences that may reasonably be drawn therefrom. Having applied the appropriate standard of review, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion and that its decision conforms to the applicable law.
