In re S.K.
T.P. (mother) appeals from orders of the juvenile court denying a hearing on her petition filed under Welfare and Institutions Code[1]section 388 and terminating her parental rights with regard to her daughter, S.K. We hold that the juvenile court erred by denying mother a hearing on her section 388 petition. We reverse both orders and remand with directions to the juvenile court to hold a hearing to determine if a modification of the courts previous orders would be in S.s best interests. The orders denying mothers section 388 petition and terminating her parental rights are reversed. The matter is remanded, and the juvenile court is ordered to conduct a hearing on the petition after affording mother an opportunity to amend the petition to allege additional facts regarding any changes that have occurred since her original petition was filed.
