In re J.D.
Y.A. (mother) filed her petition contending the juvenile court erred in finding, after a contested hearing that there was a substantial risk of detriment to her two year old daughter, J.D., if she were returned to mother’s custody. Petitioner also requested a stay of the juvenile court’s setting of a December 19, 2012 implementation hearing under Welfare & Institutions Code section 366.26.[1] We denied petitioner’s request for a stay of the December 19, 2012 hearing
We hold that there is substantial evidence supporting the juvenile court’s finding that return of J.D. to the physical custody of mother would create a substantial risk of detriment to the physical and emotional well-being of the minor under section 366.2, subdivision (e). The setting of a hearing under section 366.26 terminating parental rights was appropriate. Because the court’s findings and orders were proper, mother’s petition is denied.
