In re M.G. CA1/1
The juvenile court denied family reunification services to F.G., the father of M.G. (Father), under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10) and (11) (section 361.5(b)(10) and (11)), which provide family reunification services need not be offered to a parent of a dependent child if services for a sibling of that child previously had been terminated because the parent failed to reunify with the sibling and the parent thereafter has not made a reasonable effort to treat the problems that led to the sibling’s removal. On appeal, Father contends, although the juvenile court previously terminated reunification services for M.G.’s three half siblings because Father failed to reunify with them, the evidence at the disposition hearing for M.G. was insufficient to justify bypassing Father for services. We agree and reverse.
