POWELL, J. {¶ 1} Appellants, the mother and father of A.S. and Y.S. (respectively, "Mother" and "Father"), appeal the decision of the Butler County Court of Common Pleas, Juvenile Division, granting permanent custody of their two daughters to appellee, Butler County Butler CA2019-05-071 thru -073 Children Services ("BCCS"). For the reasons discussed below, this court affirms the decision of the juvenile court. The Parties {¶ 2} The children at issue are A.S., born August 18, 2010, and Y.S., born April 14, 2009. Mother has three other children, A.H., S.M., and R.V., who are not subjects of this appeal.

The removal was based, at least in part, on concerns regarding domestic violence between Mother and Father, inappropriate child care, bed bugs in the home, hygiene concerns, and a lack of food for the children. S.M., R.V., A.S., and Y.S. ultimately reunified with Mother.
