In re Mason M. CA4/1
Deanna W. (Mother) appeals the order terminating her parental rights to her children Mason M. and Ethan W. (together, Children) entered at a permanency plan and selection hearing held under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. Mother argues the court abused its discretion when it denied her section 388 petition without an evidentiary hearing, and also erred when it rejected her claim that the beneficial parent relationship exception (§ 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(B)(i)) applied when it assessed whether termination of her parental rights was proper. We conclude (1) the court properly denied her section 388 petition, and (2) substantial evidence supports the conclusion the beneficial parent-child relationship exception did not apply and the court did not abuse its discretion in terminating her parental rights.
