or(l)subject to Subsection (4)(d), the parent has subjected the minor to aggravated circumstances, including:(i)a severe type of child abuse or neglect;(ii)torture; or(iii)human trafficking of a child as described in Section 76-5-308.5 or 76-5-308.6.(6)(a)The juvenile court shall base the finding under Subsection (5)(b) on competent evidence from at least two medical or mental health professionals, who are not associates, establishing that, even with the provision of services, the parent is not likely to be capable of adequately caring for the minor within 12 months after the day on which the juvenile court finding is made.(b)The juvenile court may disregard the provisions of Subsection (5)(k) if the juvenile court finds, under the circumstances of the case, that the substance use disorder treatment described in Subsection (5)(k) is not warranted.(7)In determining whether reunification services are appropriate, the juvenile court shall take into consideration:(a)failure of the parent to respond to previous services or comply with a previous child and family plan;(b)the fact that the minor was abused while the parent was under the influence of drugs or alcohol;(c)any history of violent behavior directed at the minor or an immediate family member;(d)the circumstances under which the parent's rights were voluntarily terminated with regard to any other minor;(e)whether a parent continues to live with an individual who abused the minor;(f)any patterns of the parent's behavior that have exposed the minor to repeated abuse;(g)testimony by a competent professional that the parent's behavior is unlikely to be successful;

or(iii)prevent the minor from being traumatized by contact with the parent due to the minor's fear of the parent in light of the nature of the alleged abuse or neglect.(c)Notwithstanding Subsection (9)(a), a juvenile court may not deny parent-time based solely on a parent's failure to:(i)prove that the parent has not used legal or illegal substances;
