In re Jesse T.
Jennifer T., the mother of Jesse T. (mother), appeals from an order terminating her parental rights following a Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 permanency hearing (.26 hearing).[1] Mother contends the order must be reversed because the Mendocino County Department of Social Services (Department) failed to comply with the notice requirements set forth in the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), (25 U.S.C. 1901, et seq.). The Department concedes the content and manner of service of the ICWA notices were deficient and requests a limited reversal as described in In re Francisco W. (2006) 139 Cal.App.4th 695, 704 (Francisco W.). Court appreciate the Departments straightforward admission of error and remand the case to the juvenile court for the limited purpose of ensuring compliance with the ICWA.
