1. “4. That pursuant to N.C.G.S. 7B-1111(a)(6) the Respondent Mother is incapable of providing for the proper care and supervision of the juvenile, such that the juvenile is a dependent juvenile within the meaning of N.C.G.S. 7B-101, and there is a reasonable probability that such incapability will continue for the foreseeable future, to wit: a) That the Respondent Mother suffers from Lupus and is prone to having seizures. That the Court therefore previously ordered that the Respondent Mother was not to be alone with the minor child at any time. b) That following a court-sanctioned unsupervised, extended visit with the Respondent Mother in January 2002, the court thereafter determined that the Respondent Mother was unable to adequately care for the minor child, to wit: 1) That the Respondent Mother did not ensure that the minor child was getting to the daycare at the appropriate times for his therapies to continue on a regular basis. 2) That the Respondent Mother failed to arrange a schedule for the minor child to have his therapies as the DEC had recommended, and she did not schedule any therapy with the Blue Ridge Center. 3) That the Respondent Mother did not supply the needed medications for the minor child after his medication was destroyed in a fire. 4) That the Respondent Mother indicated to the Department that the minor child drained her emotionally, physically, and mentally.”

3. “although [the petitioner] should have formally dismissed Subsection 7B-1111(a)(6) as a ground for termination prior to the hearing, [the] respondent was not prejudiced by [the trial court's failure to appoint a guardian ad litem ] since [the ground] was not pursued by [the petitioner] at the hearing or found as a ground for termination by the trial court.”
