K.M., Father of K.M. and A.M., Children, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellee.

Ana Gomez-Mallada, Fort Lauderdale, for Appellant. Kelley Schaeffer, Appellate Counsel, Children's Legal Services, Bradenton, for Appellee.


Ana Gomez-Mallada, Fort Lauderdale, for Appellant.

Kelley Schaeffer, Appellate Counsel, Children's Legal Services, Bradenton, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court's findings that the State proved by clear and convincing evidence multiple statutory bases for terminating the parental rights of K.M., that termination of his parental rights was in the manifest best interests of the children, and that termination of his parental rights was the least restrictive means of safeguarding the children. The trial court's findings are supported by competent substantial evidence and are legally correct. This Court commends the trial court for its thorough, detailed order.

AFFIRMED.

ORFINGER, COHEN and EDWARDS, JJ., concur.
