In re S. LYNNE KLEIN
Contra Costa County Bureau of Children and Family Services (the bureau) filed an amended petition pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (b) and (c), [1] alleging, among other things, that Felicity S. was at substantial risk of harm due to the failure of Elizabeth V. (mother) to provide for the child’s medical and emotional needs. Felicity had been hospitalized for uncontrolled diabetes and for attempting to commit suicide. The juvenile court sustained jurisdiction and, at a later dispositional hearing, found by clear and convincing evidence that Felicity could not safely be returned to mother’s home, and ordered reunification services. Mother appealed and filed a habeas petition. In our decision filed on October 31, 2013, as amended upon denial of a petition for rehearing on November 26, 2013, we concluded that substantial evidence supported both orders. By separate order we denied the habeas petition.
