Opinion
Lead Opinion
McConnell, J.
Mother Sarah F. appeals the juvenile court’s order granting a Welfare and Institutions Code 1 section 827 petition and thus authorizing the release of Sarah’s court-ordered psychological evaluation. The petition was brought by C.D. and her husband, S.D. (together, the D.’s), who are the de facto parents of Sarah’s minor children, juvenile court dependents B.F. and R.R. (together, the children). Sarah contends the court abused its discretion by allowing the D.’s access to the evaluation. We agree.
BACKGROUND
In June 2009 the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (the Agency) filed dependency petitions for 21-month-old B.F. and two-month-old R.R. The petitions alleged R.R. was left on a dining room table *815 without proper supervision and was then found on a tile floor, screaming and crying. He had a swollen, cut and bloody lip and a chin contusion. The children were detained in Polinsky Children’s Center and then with C.D. 2 In August the juvenile court made true findings on the petitions. The court ordered B.F. placed with Sarah and R.R. placed with Sarah and Timothy. The court ordered family maintenance services.
