It seems like Chinese parents can easily lose their parental rights in this case, unless they are perfect and without sins. They also seem to need to have money, so they can buy alot of gifts, to be good parents.
Well, I read the whole thing and think the judge's decision is well reasoned and based on factual evidence. The record does not paint a pretty picture of these two selfish and manipulative people.
Applying the factors in Tennessee Code Annotated § 36-1-113(i)(1-9) for determining whether termination of parental rights is in the best interest of the minor child, the Court concludes, by clear and convincing evidence, that termination of the Hes’ parental rights is in the best interest of AMH because:
(1) the Hes have failed to make such an adjustment of circumstance, conduct, and conditions as to make it safe and in AMH’s best interest to be in the Hes’ home;
(2) the Hes have failed to maintain regular, meaningful visitation and contact with AMH;
(3) the Hes have failed to establish a meaningful relationship with AMH due to the Hes neglect and inattentiveness;
(4) the effect of a change of caretakers and physical environment will have a negative and detrimental impact on AMH’s emotional and psychological well-being;
(5) the physical environment of the Hes’ home is unhealthy and unsafe;
(6) Mrs. Hes’ emotional instability would be detrimental to AMH; and
(7) the Hes’ have failed to provide anything more than token support for AMH, despite the Hes’ ability to pay such support.
Based on all of the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law the Court finds that the petition to terminate the parental rights of Shaio-Qiang (Jack) He and Qin (Casey) Luo (He) is well taken and should be granted
