When should you refer a case for termination of parental rights?

When parents refuse counseling services
When the child has been in care for more than one year
When the parents egregiously abused a child
When the parents have been uncontactable for six months

The correct answer is: When the parents egregiously abused a child

Termination of parental rights should be considered in cases where the child has been egregiously abused by their parents. This means that the abuse has been severe and harmful to the child's physical, emotional, or mental well-being. Refusing counseling services (option A) may be addressed through other means and would not necessarily warrant termination of parental rights. Option B (when the child has been in care for more than one year) is not necessarily a sufficient reason for termination of parental rights, as the circumstances of the placement may be temporary. Option D (when parents have been uncontactable for six months) may not be grounds for termination of parental rights, as efforts should still be made to maintain contact with the parents and involve them in decisions regarding the child's welfare. Thus, option C is the most appropriate response as it directly pertains to the child's safety and well-being.
