In re S.F.
Mother, C.H., and father, A.F., appeal from a judgment terminating their parental rights to S.F., born in 2007, and A.F., born in 2010. The children became dependents due to neglect, based on lack of supervision and the parents’ drug use, as well as a history of domestic violence. (Welf. & Inst. Code,[1] § 300, subd. (b).) After one year of services, mother was awarded sole custody of the children. However, six months later, the dependency was reactivated when the parents engaged in domestic violence in the presence of the children and it was learned they were using drugs. Because the parents failed to comply with drug testing, the court denied services when it reestablished jurisdiction, and scheduled a hearing to select and implement a permanent plan of adoption. (§ 366.26.) Subsequently, parental rights were terminated.
On appeal, both parents argue there was a beneficial parent-child relationship warranting continuation of the relationship. In addition, mother argues the court erred (a) in denying reunification services;[2] and (b) denying her petition to modify the order denying services and setting the section 366.26. (§ 388.) We affirm.
