Court did not abuse its discretion in finding that respondent mother was an unfit parent and that it was in the best interests of her 2 minor children that her parental rights be terminated. Children and their severely disabled 9-year-old sibling, who was severely malnourished and not being cared for, were living under horrendous conditions. Children have been placed together in the care of a relative and have developed a bond with their foster mother and have continued interaction with their other siblings. Mother was inconsistent with visitation and refused to participate in most services. (ZENOFF and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
