In re A.G.
C.G. (Mother) appeals following an order terminating her parental rights over her daughters A.G. and L.G., now five years old and four years old, respectively (collectively, the children). In August 2005, the Orange County Social Services Agency (SSA) filed a juvenile dependency petition alleging, inter alia, Mother failed to protect the children. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 300, subd. (b).) (All further statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code.) The children were detained at that time and have never since been returned to Mothers custody. Finally, although evidence at the permanency hearing showed Mother regularly visited the children and her interactions with them were positive, she did not satisfy her burden to show that severing her relationship with the children would deprive them of a substantial, positive emotional attachment such that the child[ren] would be greatly harmed. (In re Autumn H. (1994) 27 Cal.App.4th 567, 575.)
