In D.C.
In September 2011, the juvenile court denied the petition of defendants and appellants D.R. and T.R. (maternal grandparents) under Welfare and Institutions Code[1] section 388 and terminated the parental rights of defendants and appellants P.R. (mother) and C.C. (father) to their children, D.C. (born in 2007) and A.C. (born in 2005) under section 366.26. Mother and the maternal grandparents contend the juvenile court erred in failing to comply with the requirements of section 361.3 to assess the maternal grandparents for placement. Mother and maternal grandparents also join in each other's arguments and those of father. Father contends:[2] (1) the paternal grandparents should have been evaluated for placement as requested in the maternal grandparents' section 388 petition; and (2) the juvenile court erred in failing to provide a complete assessment of the maternal grandparents. We find that any error was harmless, and we affirm.
