In re N.B. CA4/2
Opinion
Opinion
INTRODUCTION
Appellant E.B. (mother) appeals from a juvenile court’s order at an 18-month
review hearing finding that it would be detrimental to return her daughters, Ne.B. and
Na.B., to her care. Mother argues there was insufficient evidence to support the court’s
finding of detriment. We affirm.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Previous Dependency Cases
In February 2017, mother’s son, M.S., was adjudged a dependent child under
Welfare and Institutions Code1 section 300, subdivisions (a), (b), and (g), due in part to
mother physically abusing him. Mother made substantive progress in her reunification
services, and on January 22, 2018, M.S. was returned to her under family maintenance
services. On May 2, 2018, M.S. was discharged as a dependent of the court. During that
case, mother gave birth to Na.B., who was adjudged a dependent of the court under
section 300, subdivisions (a), (b), and (j), due in part to being at risk of similar abuse.
Mother received reunification services, and Na.B. was returned to her care under family
maintenance services. Na.B. was discharged as a dependent on January 22, 2018.
