Judge(s): FRIERSON

In this case involving termination of the adoptive mother's and father's parental rights to their child, the Greene County Juvenile Court ("trial court") determined that the statutory ground for termination—severe child abuse—had been proven by clear and convincing evidence. The trial court further determined that clear and convincing evidence demonstrated that termination of parental rights was in the child's best interest. The parents have appealed. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm.
