D.D. v. Superior Court
Petitioner D.D. (mother) is the mother of two‑year‑old N.D. (child). Child was placed in protective custody in December 2014 and declared a dependent of the court due to severe injuries sustained while in mother’s care and custody. Shortly before the disposition hearing in October 2015, child’s maternal grandmother (grandmother) admitted responsibility for at least one of child’s three bone fractures. The juvenile court entered a permanent restraining order against grandmother in December 2015. At the 18‑month review hearing in November 2016, the juvenile court accepted the recommendation of the Santa Clara County Department of Family and Children’s Services (the Department) to terminate reunification services (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.22, subd. (a))[1]and set a permanency planning hearing pursuant to section 366.26.
