B.R. v. Super. Ct.
By means of a petition for a writ of mandate, B.R. (mother) challenges the juvenile court’s order restricting her visitation with her infant daughter, A.H. (the minor). Mother was initially denied reunification services because she had failed to reunite with her six other children, and her parental rights to those children had been terminated. Under such circumstances, the juvenile court had discretion to authorize visitation between mother and the minor. The court was acting within its authority when it limited the hours of visitation and required that visitation be monitored and occur at a neutral location. The maternal grandmother, who was supposed to monitor the visits, left mother alone with the minor. The maternal grandmother’s lapse in judgment could have necessitated a change in placement for the minor, which could, in turn, have negatively affected the minor’s stability and permanency. We find no error in the juvenile court’s order, and we therefore deny the petition for a writ of mandate.
