In re S.P.
This is an appeal by R.W. (hereafter mother) from the trial courts disposition on a Welfare and Institutions Code section 300[1]petition. Riverside County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) filed the petition in April 2007 with respect to mothers five children after mother was arrested for the alleged murder of an elderly woman who died in mothers home while under the care of mother and her husband, T.W. (the father of the youngest child, T.W., Jr.). Mother does not dispute the facts giving rise to the dependency and therefore we will not recount those circumstances other than to note that DPSS received a referral on the children after the elderly womans death. During the investigation of that referral DPSS found the home in which the children lived with mother to be in filthy condition. In addition, the oldest child, S., had a black eye and red strap marks across her back, all reportedly inflicted by mother. Court will affirm the disposition.
