In re Devin T.
T.H., mother of the minor, appeals from orders terminating parental rights. (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 366.26, 395; statutory references that follow are to the Welfare and Institutions Code unless otherwise designated.) Appellant reasserts her challenge to the order denying her services which she first raised in an extraordinary writ that was denied in case No. C068854. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.450.) Appellant also argues the court erred in failing to apply the sibling and beneficial relationship exceptions to avoid termination of parental rights and in failing to order an updated bonding study. Appellant contends the court erred in denying her petition for modification and that there was a failure to comply with the notice provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.). We affirm the orders of the juvenile court.
Facts and Proceedings
In April 2011, the El Dorado County Department of Human Services (the Department) filed a petition to detain 20-month-old Devin T. due to the parents’ substance abuse and failure to protect him. The minor was placed with a paternal aunt and his eight-year-old half sibling was placed with the maternal grandmother.
