Termination upon finding of neglect.
The rights of the parent or parents may be terminated as provided in ORS

without reasonable and lawful cause to provide for the basic physical and
psychological needs of the child or ward for six months prior to the filing of
a petition. In determining such failure or neglect, the court shall disregard
any incidental or minimal expressions of concern or support and shall consider
but is not limited to one or more of the following:
(1) Failure to
provide care.
(2) Failure to
maintain regular visitation or other contact with the child or ward that was
designed and implemented in a plan to reunite the child or ward with the
parent.
(3) Failure to
contact or communicate with the child or ward or with the custodian of the
child or ward. In making this determination, the court may disregard incidental
visitations, communications or contributions. [1993 c.33 §141; 1997 c.873 §8;
