Description
John Edward O'Donnell, Jr., appeals from the order of the Separate Juvenile Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, which terminated his parental rights to his three sons, now aged 5, 4, and 3 years. O'Donnell assigns as error that the decision was not supported by sufficient evidence and the decision was contrary to law. We affirm. The O'Donnell children were originally removed from their mother's home on December 19, 1977, because of filthy living conditions and the poor physical condition of the children. On January 13, 1978, a petition was filed in the Separate Juvenile Court alleging that the three boys came within Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 43-202(2) (b) and 209(2) (Reissue 1978). Section 43-202(2) (b) gives the juvenile court exclusive original jurisdiction as to any minor child ""who lacks proper parental care by reason of the fault or habits of his parent, guardian, or custodian."" Section 43-209(2) gives the court authority to terminate parental rights when it is in the best interests of the child and ""The parents have substantially and continuously or repeatedly neglected the child and refused to give the child necessary parental care and protection.""
