In re Vivian T.
Mother appeals that portion of a dispositional order requiring her to participate in a drug rehabilitation program. She claims that she denied using drugs, there was no evidence she used drugs, and the sustained section 300 petition contained no allegation of her drug use. She therefore claims that the juvenile courts dispositional order erroneously required her participation in a drug rehabilitation program and should be reversed. There was evidence, however, that Father sold drugs; that 575 Ecstasy pills were found in Mothers home in locations accessible to her two infant children; that Mother was involved in sales and distribution of Ecstasy, Ketamine, and marijuana, and took orders and counted money for sales of those narcotics; that $10,000 in currency was recovered from the home; and that although Mother denied using drugs, she also denied involvement in drug trafficking, which denial was contradicted by evidence produced when law enforcement agencies wire-tapped a phone conversation which recorded Mother handling money for drug sales. Therefore it was not unreasonable for the dispositional order to require Mother to participate in a drug rehabilitation program. Court find no abuse of discretion and affirm the judgment.
