Opinion
FACTS
A.A. is the mother of two young children, C.K. and S.S. On October 29, 2012, CWS filed a juvenile dependency petition (§ 300) alleging that A.A. had "an untreated substance abuse problem that affects her ability to provide adequate care to [C.K.]." CWS alleged that on October 25, 2012, A.A. was "arrested for being under the influence of methamphetamine," and that she had a "criminal history" of committing burglary, conspiracy, and using or possessing a controlled substance which placed the child at risk for abuse and neglect. CWS filed a second juvenile dependency petition (§ 300) alleging that S.S. was at risk for abuse because of A.A.'s substance abuse, sexual abuse by the child's father, and A.A.'s inability to protect the child. The children were removed from the home and declared dependents of the juvenile court. On June 6, 2013, CWS requested termination of family reunification services. It said A.A. "was not appropriately participating in her drug treatment program." The trial court terminated reunification services and set a section 366.26 hearing. On October 31, 2013, the trial court terminated A.A.'s parental rights to the children.
