Juvenile Court Law.
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY E087320
CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES,
(Super.Ct.No. J283136)
Plaintiff and Respondent,
OPINION
v.

J.M.,

Appellant.

APPEAL from the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. Cara D. Hutson,

Judge. Affirmed.

Jill Smith, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Appellant.

Laura Feingold, County Counsel, and Joseph R. Barrell, Deputy County Counsel,

for Plaintiff and Respondent.

1
Minor J.M. appeals from an order of the juvenile court approving his placement in

a short-term residential therapeutic program (STRTP). J.M. raises multiple related issues,

but primarily contends the juvenile court misapplied the law by approving his placement

in the STRTP based on lack of available family-based foster homes. Because we agree

with respondent San Bernardino County Children and Family Services (CFS) that the

juvenile court did not abuse its discretion, we affirm.

BACKGROUND

In November 2019, then six-month-old J.M., along with his twin brother and their

six siblings, was removed from his parents’ home in response to reports of general

neglect involving squalid living conditions. As J.M.’s parents could not identify any

relative placement, J.M. and his twin were placed in a foster home together and their six

siblings were placed in other foster homes. After finding the allegations in the juvenile

dependency petition true, the court ordered family reunification services. In the

meantime, the parents became homeless.

At the contested 18-month review hearing in August 2021, the court terminated

family reunification services, mainly because the parents could not secure housing for

J.M. The court found, however, that setting a hearing on termination of parental rights

pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 was not in J.M.’s best interest;1

the court instead set a permanent plan review (PPR) hearing. Eventually, a section

366.26 hearing was set for March 2023 and after multiple continuances was finally held

1 All further statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code unless
otherwise indicated.

2
in September 2024, at which time the court chose not to terminate parental rights, again

finding that a section 366.26 hearing was not in J.M.’s best interest; the court set another

PPR hearing.

In August 2025, CFS placed J.M. in an STRTP, which the court approved after a

contested placement review hearing in November 2025.

A. J.M.’s Foster Home Placements Prior to STRTP Placement

Since his removal in November 2019, J.M. and his twin were placed together in

several different foster homes. Prior to his third birthday, J.M. began engaging in

aggressive behavior, hitting others when upset. J.M. and his twin began receiving weekly

play therapy to address their aggressive behavior.

By the end of March 2023, J.M. and his twin were still “struggl[ing] with

aggression and tantrums towards each other and in school.” School personnel reported

that J.M. was exhibiting behavioral issues such as “biting, hitting, and throwing items.”

In March 2024, J.M. and his twin were placed in the foster home of Mr. and Mrs.

G. About four months later, Mrs. G. requested removal of the children “due to [J.M.]’s

temper tantrums, which include[d] hitting, biting, kicking, yelling, throwing things and

using inappropriate language.” Just prior to that request, J.M. had been aggressive with

his biological mother, hitting and scratching her during a temper tantrum.

J.M. and his twin were then placed in the foster home of Ms. B., but six days after

their placement, she requested that J.M. be removed due to his “continued temper

tantrums and destruction of personal property.” She was also concerned because J.M.

3
was physically and verbally aggressive toward his twin.

In August 2024, J.M. and his twin, now five years old, were placed in the foster

home of Mr. M. and Ms. O. About three months later, in November 2024, they were

placed with Mr. and Mrs. V. Later that same month, after reports that J.M. was

aggressive toward other children in the home, Mr. and Mrs. V. requested J.M.’s removal

“due to safety concerns.”

In December 2024, J.M. and his twin were placed in the foster home of Mr. and

Mrs. B., where it was reported that J.M. was “physically aggressive towards his [twin],

the caregiver, Mr. B., and other peers, as evidenced by hitting, kicking, [and] pushing.”

In one incident, J.M. even knocked out Mr. B.’s tooth and laughed about it. In addition to

his aggressive behavior, J.M. used vulgar, combative language.

In March 2025, during a Child and Family Team (CFT) meeting, Mr. and Mrs. B.

requested J.M.’s removal due to his physical aggression. Mrs. B. was worried about the

safety of J.M.’s twin. A few days later, J.M. was separated from his twin and moved to

the foster home of Mr. and Mrs. F. Although he was the only child in the home, J.M.

would not follow rules and “was physically and verbally aggressive towards the caregiver

in the home.” Mr. and Mrs. F. made multiple requests for J.M.’s removal due to his

aggressive behavior.

B. STRTP Placement and the Placement Review Hearing

On August 20, 2025, CFS placed J.M. in an STRTP. Prior to the placement review

hearing set for November 12, 2025, J.M.’s social worker submitted a Status Review

4
Report (the social worker’s report) with attachments, including a Qualified Individual

Assessment Summary Report (the QI assessment) completed by Raquel Tejeda, a

“qualified individual” (QI) as defined by section 16501, subdivision (l).

As will be discussed in greater detail, the social worker’s report and the QI

assessment document J.M.’s extensive behavioral issues. The QI, after identifying

numerous such issues including J.M.’s difficulty with controlling his anger, his emotional

and physical dysregulation, and his intentional misbehavior, concluded that J.M. was a

danger to others. Similarly, the social worker documented reports that J.M. was

physically aggressive and violent towards others, used profanity, and destroyed property.

This was consistent with input from the STRTP director, who reported that J.M. has a low

frustration tolerance and struggles with emotional/physical dysregulation, among other

behavioral issues. The social worker and the rest of the CFT agreed with the QI’s

recommendation that J.M. be placed in the STRTP. J.M.’s counsel filed a general

objection to his placement based solely on whether an STRTP is appropriate for a child of

J.M.’s age.

During the placement review hearing, two witnesses testified—the social worker,

and the QI, Ms. Tejeda. The social worker testified about, among other things: several

instances in which J.M. was removed from foster homes due to behavioral issues

involving aggression and violence; her efforts to locate a suitable family-based foster

home for J.M.; and the fact that foster family homes would not accept J.M. because they

were either full or they were unwilling to take him due to his behavioral issues. She

5
stated that J.M. could be placed in a family-based foster home if one were available, but

she also opined that it was in J.M.’s best interest to remain in the STRTP. The QI

unequivocally testified that her recommendation that J.M. be placed in the STRTP was

based on his behaviors and needs, not on the availability of family-based foster homes.

After the evidentiary phase of the hearing, J.M.’s counsel presented a single

argument—that J.M.’s placement in the STRTP was improper because it was based on

lack of available family-based foster homes, not based on J.M.’s needs.

C. The Juvenile Court’s Ruling and Order Approving STRTP Placement

Prior to pronouncing its order on the STRTP placement, the juvenile court

informed the parties that it read and considered the social worker’s report, the QI

assessment and attachments, and section 361.22. The court then “caution[ed] counsel

[that if it read section 361.22] narrowly and just read the statute for what it is, [J.M.’s

counsel] would be absolutely correct. But what the Court also has to do always is look at

the factors surrounding the placement of the minor, in addition to the statute.” The court

went on to acknowledge the social worker’s testimony that she would have placed J.M. in

a family-based home if one were available.

The juvenile court then discussed J.M.’s “symptoms and behavior, impulsivity,

hyperactivity, depression, oppositional behaviors, attachment difficulties, difficulty

controlling anger, emotional-physical dysregulation, poor social functioning, intentional

misbehavior, poor school behavior, academics and attendance,” finding that J.M. was “a

danger to others.” The court provided examples of such behavioral issues, including J.M.

6
being aggressive towards his twin, his caregivers, and “school staff, other peers,

evidenced by hitting, kicking, pushing, using profane language . . . exhibit[ing]

dysregulation outbursts, making threats, [and] destroying property when triggered.”

The juvenile court explained it was interpreting section 361.22 in relation to its

finding that J.M.’s “behavioral issues are such that if he were placed in a family-based

home right now the entire home would be at risk.” The court told the parties it could not

“just look at lightening in a bottle and say, okay, this is what the statute says,” but rather

that it was required “to look at the context in which [it was] placing [J.M.], other

children, [and] adults, including one that now has a knocked out tooth.

After discussing J.M.’s progress in the STRTP, the court stated its finding that the

STRTP was “the most effective place for [J.M.] to be to stabilize his very concerning

conduct.” Consistent with its oral pronouncement, the court entered a minute order

stating its finding that J.M.’s needs could not be met through placement in a family-based

setting, and that placement in the STRTP would provide the most effective and

appropriate care setting for J.M. in the least restrictive environment. The court signed

and filed its formal order stating the same.

J.M. timely appealed the juvenile court’s placement order.

DISCUSSION

J.M. contends the juvenile court misapplied controlling law by approving his

STRTP placement based on unavailability of family-based homes, rather than based on

the statutorily required determination that his needs could not be met through placement

7
in a family-based setting and that the STRTP provided the most effective and appropriate

care setting for him in the least restrictive environment. J.M. raises multiple related

arguments regarding the sufficiency of evidence supporting the court’s findings.

CFS argues the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion by approving J.M.’s

placement at the STRTP and, relatedly, that the evidence supports the juvenile court’s

findings.

A. Relevant Law

A dependent child may be eligible for placement in an STRTP if they fall into one

of three categories: (1) they meet specific medical necessity criteria for mental health

services; (2) they are diagnosed with serious emotional disturbance; or (3) their needs can

only be met by the level of care provided by the STRTP. (§ 4096, subd. (e)(1)(B).)

Section 361.22 sets forth procedures by which the juvenile court must review

placements of juvenile dependents in an STRTP, as well as procedures the placing agency

must follow when seeking court approval. Prior to the STRTP placement review hearing,

the social worker is required to prepare and submit a report which includes, among other

things: (1) a QI assessment addressing the appropriateness of placement in the STRTP

based on the services and care needs of the child (§ 4096, subd. (g)); and (2) case plan

documentation required pursuant to section 16501.1, subdivision (d)(2)(C). (§ 361.22,

subd. (c)(1).)

The QI assessment must include “[e]ngagement with the child and family team

members” to assess the child’s strengths and needs, as well as “identification of the child-

8
specific short- and long-term mental and behavioral health goals and treatment needs of

the child.” (§ 4096, subd. (g)(3)(A)-(C).) If the QI determines that the child’s needs

cannot be met with family members or in another family-based setting, she must explain

why in writing (§ 4096, subd. (g)(4)(A)-(B)(i)), and, among other things, why the STRTP

“is the setting that will provide the child with the most effective and appropriate level of

care in the least restrictive environment” and “is consistent with the short- and long-term

goals for the child.” (§ 4096, subd. (g)(4)(B)(ii)-(iii).)

At the STRTP review hearing, the juvenile court must consider the information

provided by the social worker under section 361.22, subdivision (c), including the QI

assessment. (§ 361.22, subd. (e)(1).) The court is required to determine “whether the

needs of the child or nonminor dependent can be met through placement in a family-

based setting, or, if not, whether placement in a short-term residential therapeutic

program or community treatment facility, as applicable, provides the most effective and

appropriate care setting for the child or nonminor dependent in the least restrictive

environment. A shortage or lack of family homes shall not be an appropriate reason for

determining that the needs of the child cannot be met in a family-based setting.”

(§ 361.22, subd. (e)(2) (italics added).) The court also determines whether the level of

care provided by an STRTP is consistent with the child’s short- and long-term mental and

behavioral health goals and permanency plan. These determinations must be made by a

preponderance of the evidence. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 5.618(g)(2).)

In addition to the determinations required under section 361.22, the juvenile court

9
must determine whether placement in an STRTP “is consistent with the child’s . . . best

interest.” (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 5.618(g)(1).) The court approves or disapproves the

placement, and makes a finding, in writing or on the record, of the basis for its

determinations. (§ 361.22, subd. (e)(3), (5)-(6).)

“A juvenile court’s placement orders are reviewed under the abuse of discretion

standard.” (In re Sabrina H. (2007) 149 Cal.App.4th 1403, 1420.) The juvenile court

abuses its discretion by making a determination that is “ ‘ “ ‘arbitrary, capricious, or

patently absurd . . . .’ ” ’ ” (Id. at p. 1421.) An abuse of discretion can be found when the

juvenile court “ ‘applies the wrong legal standard or its factual findings are not supported

by substantial evidence.’ ” (In re R.F. (2023) 94 Cal.App.5th 718, 728.) “The appellant

bears the burden of showing a [juvenile] court abused its discretion.” (F.T. v. L.J. (2011)

194 Cal.App.4th 1, 16.)

B. The Juvenile Court’s Application of Section 361.22

J.M.’s primary contention is that the juvenile court abused its discretion when it

misapplied section 361.22, subdivision (e)(2), by approving his STRTP placement based

on lack of available foster homes, rather than a finding that his needs could not be met

through placement in a family-based setting and that an STRTP would provide the most

effective and appropriate care setting for him in the least restrictive environment.

In support of his argument, J.M. relies heavily on testimony of the social worker,

which J.M. contends was the “focus[]” of the juvenile court. However, the issue to be

decided by this Court is not whether the social worker applied an improper standard, but

10
whether the juvenile court did so. (§ 361.22, subd. (e)(2) [“the court shall . . . .

[d]etermine whether the needs of the child or nonminor dependent can be met through

placement in a family-based setting” (italics added)].)

The record is clear that the juvenile court focused on whether J.M.’s needs could

be met through placement in a family-based setting. The court stated that it read and

considered the social worker’s report and all attachments, including the QI assessment.

The court then discussed, in detail, J.M.’s behavioral issues, including “impulsivity,

hyperactivity, depression, oppositional behaviors, attachment difficulties, difficulty

controlling anger, emotional-physical dysregulation, poor social functioning, intentional

misbehavior, poor school behavior, academics and attendance, and [J.M.] is a danger to

others.” Specifically citing the incident in which J.M. knocked out a caretaker’s tooth,

the court discussed its finding that J.M. is aggressive towards his brother, his caregivers,

school staff, and other children, as evidenced by physical attacks, profanity, threats, and

destruction of property. Based on these findings, the court found that the STRTP was

“the most effective place for [J.M.] to be to stabilize his very concerning conduct.”

Contrary to J.M.’s interpretation, the record does not reflect that the juvenile court

considered a shortage or lack of family homes as a reason for its determination that J.M.’s

needs could not be met in a family-based setting. Rather, the court began its analysis by

considering whether J.M.’s needs could be met in a family-based setting even if one were

available, explaining that the court “has to consider what happens if [it] put [J.M.] in a

family-based home right now.” (Italics added.)

11
Although the juvenile court discussed availability of family-based homes in the

context of the evidence and arguments presented, it expressly found that J.M.’s needs

could not be met through placement in a family-based setting. The court did not identify

a shortage or lack of family homes as a reason for its determination that J.M.’s needs

could not be met in a family-based setting. Thus, the record does not demonstrate that

the court applied the wrong legal standard or that the court made an arbitrary, capricious,

or patently absurd determination. We find the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion

in its application of section 361.22.

C. The QI Assessment

J.M. takes issue with the juvenile court’s reliance on the QI assessment, which he

argues does not meet the requirements set forth in section 4096, subdivision (g).

Specifically, he argues, or suggests: Ms. Tejeda is unqualified to serve as a QI because

she was not “licensed” and that she had not personally visited the STRTP or have

“personal knowledge” of its services; the QI assessment is deficient in relation to CFS’s

search for family members; and the QI assessment insufficiently documented other

issues, such as engagement with CFT members and how services provided by the STRTP

differ from those provided in a family-based home. Relatedly, J.M. argues services

previously discussed by his care team were not attempted prior to his placement in the

STRTP.

In so doing, J.M. appears to challenge the sufficiency of the QI assessment and

accordingly questions whether there is substantial evidence supporting the juvenile

12
court’s finding that STRTP placement is in J.M.’s best interest.

A juvenile court abuses its discretion when its findings are not supported by

substantial evidence. (In re R.F., supra, 94 Cal.App.5th at p. 728.) Under the substantial

evidence test, “we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the trial court’s order,

drawing every reasonable inference and resolving all conflicts in support of the judgment.

[Citation.] An appellate court does not reweigh the evidence.” (In re Marina S.

(2005) 132 Cal.App.4th 158, 165; In re Michael G. (2012) 203 Cal.App.4th 580, 589

[“The substantial evidence standard of review is generally considered the most difficult

standard of review to meet, as it should be, because it is not the function of the reviewing

court to determine the facts”].)

Although not argued by CFS, there is no indication that J.M. made any of these

arguments or raised any of these objections to the juvenile court regarding the sufficiency

of the QI assessment or Ms. Tejeda’s qualifications. The arguments are therefore

forfeited. (In re Dakota S. (2000) 85 Cal.App.4th 494, 502 [listing numerous

applications of the waiver doctrine in dependency proceedings, and applying the doctrine

to appellant’s failure “to object in the juvenile court to the lack of a preliminary

assessment of the prospective guardian”]; cf., In re M.V. (2014) 225 Cal.App.4th 1495,

1508 [“courts have repeatedly held that a party’s failure to object forfeits appellate review

of the adequacy of—or the failure to prepare—mandatory assessment reports in juvenile

proceedings”].)

Additionally, some of the issues addressed by CFS in its respondent’s brief—such

13
as Ms. Tejeda’s qualification to serve as QI, and placement in a small family home2—are

not argued in J.M.’s reply brief, which indicates an implicit concession of those issues.

(Ross v. Superior Court (2022) 77 Cal.App.5th 667, 681.) As will be discussed, even if

the arguments had not been abandoned or forfeited, reversal of the juvenile court’s order

is not warranted here.

1. Qualification of the QI

Contrary to the suggestion in his opening brief, J.M. has not shown that Ms.

Tejeda was unqualified to serve as a QI. A QI is defined, in relevant part, as “a trained

professional or licensed clinician responsible for conducting the determination described

in subdivision (g) of Section 4096 and determining the most effective and appropriate

placement for a child.” (§16501, subd. (l) (italics added).) There is no requirement that a

QI be licensed. The record demonstrates here that Ms. Tejeda is a trained professional as

a registered associate marriage and family therapist with a master’s degree and has

experience conducting dozens of QI assessments. There is also no requirement that a QI

personally visit an STRTP facility or have “personal knowledge” of its services, and J.M.

2 J.M. may be abandoning the “small family home” issue. The social worker
testified that she attempted to have J.M. placed in a “small family home,” but such
placement was not possible because it required that he first be denied placement in a
group home “because of his high needs.” In his opening brief, J.M. argues the juvenile
court abused its discretion by delegating its authority to the STRTP to decide whether
J.M. should be placed in a small family home. As CFS correctly points out, a “small
family home” is defined as a “residential facility, in the licensee’s family residence, that
provides 24-hour care for six or fewer foster children who have mental disorders or
developmental or physical disabilities and who require special care and supervision as a
result of their disabilities.” (Health & Saf. Code, § 1502, subd. (a)(6).) J.M. cites no
evidence or authority suggesting he qualified for placement in a small family home. In
fact, he appears to concede the issue in his reply brief.

14
does not cite any authority establishing such a requirement. Nevertheless, the record

indicates that Ms. Tejeda spoke to the STRTP therapist and program director regarding

services J.M. received.

2. Differences in Services Provided

J.M. argues the QI failed to document how the services provided by the STRTP

were different than those provided in a family-based home. That requirement is set forth

in section 4096, subdivision (g)(4)(B). The QI assessment includes a section captioned

“Barriers to Family-Based Settings,” under which Ms. Tejeda noted that since

“September 2023, [J.M.] has participated in wraparound services and other intensive

mental health services; however, his ongoing needs and challenges have made it difficult

for him to sustain stability in a foster home placement.” Based on his mental health

needs relating to anger, aggression and numerous other symptoms and behaviors, she

noted that “he would benefit from a structured setting, 24/7 supervision and support and

specialty intensive mental health services.” She later testified that the purpose of placing

him in the STRTP was to “help to address and stabilize the behaviors that essentially led

to the recommendation of placement in an STRTP.” The implication in these statements

is that the services provided by the STRTP involve more comprehensive supervision and

support and specialty intensive mental health services addressing J.M.’s anger and

aggressive behavior, which were not provided in the family-based homes. The court

appeared to agree when it stated that J.M.’s “behavioral issues are such that if he were

placed in a family-based home right now the entire home would be at risk.”

15
3. CFS’s Search for Family Members

J.M. also argues the QI assessment failed to establish whether his assessed needs

could be met with family members or in another family-based setting, as required by

section 4096, subdivision (g)(4), because CFS did not conduct a “family available”

search. The argument assumes, with no factual support, that if CFS were able to locate

additional family members, the juvenile court might have ruled differently. But as

discussed, the record supports the juvenile court’s determination that J.M.’s needs could

not be met in a family-based home, regardless of its availability.

At the time of J.M.’s initial detention in 2019, J.M.’s parents completed family

find forms, but they failed to identify any relatives with which J.M. could be placed.

Over the years, the juvenile court consistently made findings that CFS exercised due

diligence to locate relatives with which J.M. could be placed, including on September 25,

2024; March 21, 2025; and at the STRTP review hearing on September 19, 2025. There

is no indication that J.M. ever objected to the juvenile court’s findings regarding the

sufficiency of CFS’s search for additional family members prior to his placement in the

STRTP or at the STRTP review hearing. J.M.’s counsel never argued that the juvenile

court should disapprove of his placement in the STRTP because CFS did not sufficiently

search for family members.

4. Engagement with CFT Members

Citing the requirement that the QI assessment include “[e]ngagement with the

child and family team members” (§ 4096, subd. (g)(3)(A)), J.M. also argues it “does not

16
appear that [the wraparound] team were identified” or “consulted,” and that the QI

assessment failed to specify what services were provided to J.M. and whether those

services could be provided in a family-based home. The QI assessment establishes that

Ms. Tejeda engaged with CFT members involved in J.M.’s prior and current placement,

and it identifies the CFT members interviewed to include the social services worker, an

STRTP therapist, the STRTP program director, and J.M.’s previous therapist at Pacific

Clinics, Shay McMillen. The social worker’s report states that prior to his placement at

the STRTP, J.M. received wraparound services twice per week through Pacific Clinics.

Notably, J.M.’s counsel specifically asked the social worker on direct examination about

“Shay McMill[e]n, [J.M.]’s prior therapist,” and the social worker identified McMillen as

“the facilitator for wraparound.” J.M.’s counsel then had “no further questions,”

including any questions about identification of members of the wraparound team. There

is no indication in the record that J.M.’s counsel ever raised any objection or contention

in the juvenile court proceeding regarding incomplete identification of the wraparound

team in the QI assessment or that any such lack of identification prejudiced J.M.

5. Timing of Services Provided to J.M.

J.M. argues there is no indication that services identified seven months prior to his

placement in the STRTP, such as applied behavior analysis therapy, therapeutic

behavioral services, and a referral for an individualized education program (IEP)

assessment, were attempted prior to his placement in the STRTP. But even assuming

J.M. should have received the treatments discussed by his wraparound team prior to his

17
placement in the STRTP, J.M. fails to explain how that alters the analysis. J.M. concedes

that he has been “receiving services consistently” since his placement in the STRTP and

that “[m]oving into [multiple] different [foster homes] interrupted his services and

schooling.” These facts demonstrate that J.M.’s constant shuffling between foster homes

impeded his ability to obtain consistent services, which he now receives in the STRTP.

D. Juvenile Court’s Statements Regarding J.M.’s Improvement

Finally, J.M. argues the juvenile court’s belief that he was improving in the STRTP

was “misguided” and did not provide evidence that the STRTP was the most effective and

appropriate setting in the least restrictive environment. But the facts cited by the juvenile

court are relevant and have evidentiary support. The court stated that J.M. was “thriving”

in school. That is consistent with the testimony of the social worker that J.M.’s school

behavior had improved since his placement in the STRTP. The court also noted that

J.M.’s behavior was beginning to stabilize, which is supported by the record.

In sum, substantial evidence supports the juvenile court’s finding that the STRTP

was the most effective and appropriate setting in the least restrictive environment.

Appellant has not shown that the juvenile court misapplied the law or made a

determination that was arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd.

18
DISPOSITION

The juvenile court’s order placing J.M. in the STRTP is affirmed.
