780 chars2. Termination of parental rights and posttermination visits. Both parents challenge the termination of their parental rights. "After ascertaining unfitness, the judge must determine whether the parent's unfitness is such that it would be in the child's best interests to end all legal relations between parent and child." Adoption of Nancy, 443 Mass. at 515. "Because the termination of parental rights is an 'extreme step,' ... the judge [must] articulate specific and detailed findings in support of a conclusion that termination is appropriate, demonstrating that she has given the evidence close attention." Id. at 514-515, quoting Adoption of Frederick, 405 Mass. 1, 5 (1989). We conclude that a remand is required in order to clarify the judge's termination determinations.
