In re Ashley W.
Minors Ashley and Samantha W., respectively nine and seven year-old children, and the Solano County Department of Health and Social Services (Department) appeal a series of orders by the Solano County Juvenile Court, issued between September 27, 2006, and November 7, 2006, ordering the Department to create and implement a transition plan to effect the minors return to their mother, Ann W., pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.22, and declining to set a hearing to determine whether the mothers parental rights should be terminated pursuant to section 366.26. Appellants also challenge the denial of their section 385 motion for reconsideration of the courts order returning the minors to their mother, and the denial of their petition to modify or set aside a previous order, pursuant to section 388. Because Court conclude that the juvenile court erred and there was a preponderance of the evidence that the girls return would create a substantial risk of detriment to their physical and emotional well being, Court reverse the lower courts orders.
