In re J.C.

Court terminated parental rights of Respondent mother as to her daughter, age 9 at time of hearing. Court did not abuse its discretion in denying mother's motion to compel daughter to testify at termination hearing. GAL stated that requiring child's testimony would risk causing her further emotional damage. Child's testimony would not have changed outcome of proceeding, and it would have been detrimental to child's best interest. Mother was afforded adequate procedural due process at termination hearings; he had the opportunity to be heard, was able to explain her position, present evidence, and rebut State's evidence.  (LAVIN and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
