Christina C. v. Superior Court CA1/2
Christina C. (mother) is the mother of five-year-old Brody G. (Brody), who was taken into protective custody in June 2015. In December 2017, the juvenile court held an 18-month review hearing and found that the return of Brody to mother would create a substantial risk of detriment to his safety, protection, or well-being within the meaning of section 366.22, subdivision (a)(1) of the Welfare and Institutions Code. The court terminated reunification services and set the matter for a permanency hearing under section 366.26. The permanency hearing is scheduled for February 22, 2018.
Mother filed a petition for a writ of mandate challenging the court’s order, arguing the juvenile court erred by finding the return of Brody to her would create a substantial risk of harm. She also contends the court should have extended reunification services for another six months under section 366.22, subdivision (b). She requested a temporary stay of the permanency hearing.
