INTRODUCTION
Mother (Kimberly G.) appeals from the juvenile court’s order authorizing vaccinations for her six dependent children. We find no abuse of discretion and affirm.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND1
On December 10, 2019, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) filed a dependency petition on behalf of mother’s minor children: Paris S. (born Oct. 2006); Aaniyjah G. (born Nov. 2008); Kaniyah C. (born Aug. 2010); Ky’on T. (born Aug. 2016); Laila T. (born Sept. 2017); and Ra’Jaih T. (born June 2019). As to mother, the petition (as amended) was sustained on November 13, 2020, based on mother’s physical and emotional abuse of the children as well as her failure to protect the children from the physical abuse of Timothy T., father to the three youngest children (Ky’on, Laila, and Ra’Jaih). The court declared the children dependents and removed them from parental custody. Paris, Aaniyjah, and Kaniyah (collectively, older children) were placed in the foster home of Ms. B. Ky’on, Laila, and Ra’Jaih (collectively, younger children) were placed in the foster home of Ms. H.
