Claudia S. v. Superior Court
Petitioner Claudia S. (Mother) is the mother of J.O., born in October 2003, L.Q., born in July 2005, and G.Q., born in November 2006. Pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 8.452, Mother challenges findings and orders the juvenile court made following a consolidated 12 month review hearing on an initial petition and a jurisdictional hearing on a subsequent petition brought under Welfare and Institutions Code section 342 (all further statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code). The juvenile court found the children came within the courts jurisdiction under section 300, subdivision (e), ordered the children detained, denied further reunification services on the initial petition, denied reunification services on the section 342 petition, and set a hearing pursuant to section 366.26 to determine a permanent plan of placement. The section 366.26 hearing is scheduled for June 18, 2008.
In response to Mothers contentions, we conclude: (1) substantial evidence supported the jurisdictional findings on the section 342 petition; (2) the juvenile court did not err by denying Mother reunification services under section 361.5, subdivisions (b)(5) and (c); (3) the juvenile court did not err by not making certain findings necessary to continue the case under section 366.21, subdivision (g)(1); (4) the juvenile court did not err by denying Mother reunification services under section 361.5, subdivision (b)(6); and (5) the juvenile court did not err by not ordering reunification services for Mothers boyfriend. Court therefore deny Mothers petition.
