user: Read the case excerpt and choose the best holding from the options. Case excerpt: or belief that Arredondo abandoned his offspring and failed to adequately support or care for them prior to incarceration, and that after his release from SAFP, he failed to take any steps to regain custody of them, visit them, or support them. Furthermore, he voluntarily committed acts which caused his probation to be revoked, thereby resulting in his re-incarceration. Although Arredondo professed a desire to be a part of his children’s lives and may be currently attending substance abuse counseling, the jury could reasonably believe that appellant’s actions when he was not subject to a restricted regimen within the confines of prison walls spoke more convincingly of his abandonment of his children.
