In re M.V.
In this dependency case (Welf. & Inst. Code, 300 et seq.), C. M., the maternal grandmother of the minor child M. V. (Maternal Grandmother and M., respectively), appeals from a disposition order. Maternal Grandmother asserts the minor should be placed in long term foster care rather than adopted. She also contends her visits with the minor should not have to be monitored.
Maternal Grandmothers first contention is premature. There has been no decision regarding a permanent plan for M. The case is still in the reunification stage. Maternal Grandmothers second contention is without factual basis. The record does not indicate that her visits were ordered to be monitored, nor that she requested that her visits be unmonitored. Further, she herself has had a child in the dependency system (M.s mother), because of abuse and/or neglect, and thus monitored visits between herself and M. would not be unwarranted. She also appears to be objecting to the minor being placed with his paternal aunt. However, there is no indication in the record that such a placement has been made. Therefore, because none of the issues raised by the Maternal Grandmother has merit, the order from which Maternal Grandmother has appealed will be affirmed.
