In re B.A.
While under the influence of methamphetamines, a mother abandoned her four-year-old, and the child was detained and placed in foster care. The mother had a history of substance abuse and mental and emotional problems. At the six-month review hearing, the dependency court found a substantial risk of detriment preventing the child’s return to her mother at that time, but noted the mother’s efforts to comply with her case plan and ordered continued reunification services as well as an evaluation of the mother and her home in Mexico through the Mexican social services agency known as DIF (Desarrollo Integral del la Familia). The mother appeals, asserting there was insufficient evidence supporting the dependency court’s orders at the six-month review hearing. We affirm.
