In re M.L.
Frankie L. (father) and Kristen L. (mother) appeal from the order terminating their parental rights to their daughter, M.L. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26.)[1] Mother contends that the parental beneficial relationship exception of section 366.26, subdivision (c)(1)(B)(i) and the sibling relationship exception of section 366.26, subdivision (c)(1)(B)(v) bar a termination of rights in this case. Father argues that the parental beneficial relationship exception bars a termination of rights. Respondent Ventura County Human Services Agency (HSA) agrees with parents that the order terminating parental rights must be reversed because it did not comply with the notice provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). (25 U.S.C.A 1901 et seq.) Court reverse and remand to permit compliance with the ICWA, but reject the remaining arguments.
