In re Trinity O. CA5
Appellant Todd O. (father) appeals from dispositional orders denying him reunification services in dependency proceedings concerning his now 12-year-old daughter, Trinity O., five-year-old daughter, N.O., and four-year-old son, Jacob H. The juvenile court relied on Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.5, subdivision (b)(6) and (11), which respectively permit the denial of reunification services to a parent who inflicts severe physical harm to a child or whose parental rights to a sibling of the child were terminated. Father contends the court erred in denying him reunification services because the statute does not apply and, alternatively, providing him reunification services served the children’s best interests. We conclude the juvenile court properly denied father reunification services under subdivision (b)(6) of section 361.5 and affirm.
