11.
a.
The
parent
is
palpably
6
unfit
to
be
a
party
to
the
parent-child
relationship
7
as
determined
by
a
consistent
pattern
of
specific
8
conduct
or
specific
conditions
directly
relating
to
the
9
parent-child
relationship
which
are
determined
by
the
10
court
to
be
of
a
duration
or
nature
that
renders
the
11
parent
unable,
for
the
reasonably
foreseeable
future,
12
to
provide
the
appropriate
care
and
support
for
the
13
ongoing
physical,
mental,

emotional
needs
of
the
14
child.
15
b.
In
making
a
determination
that
a
parent
is
16
palpably
unfit,
the
court
may
consider
any
specific
17
conduct
or
specific
conditions
directly
relating
18
to
the
parent-child
relationship
that
the
court
19
deems
significant
in
rendering
the
parent
unable
20
to
provide
the
appropriate
care
and
support
for
the
21
ongoing
physical,
mental,
or
emotional
needs
of
the
22
child.
Such
conduct
or
conditions
may
include
but
23
are
not
limited
to
the
parent’s
history
relating
to
a
24
substance-related
disorder
as
defined
in
section
125.2
25
that
results
in
the
parent
being
a
danger
to
self
or
26
others
as
evidenced
by
prior
acts;
the
parent’s
history
27
of
domestic
abuse
assault
pursuant
to
section
708.2A;
28
the
parent’s
history
of
imprisonment
for
a
felony
29
offense
including
any
crime
against
a
child;
or
the
30
parent’s
current
imprisonment
from
which
the
parent
is
31
unlikely
to
be
released
in
five
years
or
less.
