In re B.S.
In the State of Florida, B.S. was the subject of several referrals, resulting in an order awarding custody of B.S. to her father, L.S. in 2003. B.S. lived with her father continuously from that point until May 31, 2007, when mother, who had moved to California, requested a visit with B.S., promising to return B.S. to Florida on July 24, 2007. On October 3, 2007, B.S., then 10 years of age, was detained along with her twin one-year-old half-siblings, after mother attempted suicide in front of the children by cutting herself with a razor, and reportedly swallowing a razor blade. Mother was involuntarily hospitalized, and the father of the half-sibling twins was jailed for being intoxicated and unable to care for the children. The emergency response social worker found the home to be filthy, with very little food. Further, the twins were wearing soiled and wet diapers . Finally, law enforcement officers found a glass methamphetamine pipe in the residence. The judgment is affirmed.
