I. INTRODUCTION
Lakeisha B. (the mother) appeals from a December 19, 2005 order denying her request at a selection and implementation hearing (Welf. & Inst. Code,[1] § 366.26) that the Department of Children and Family Services (the department) be ordered to assess the maternal grandmother's home for placement of R.Y., the child. (§ 361.3.)

One of the child's siblings was sexually assaulted by the maternal grandfather and two maternal uncles. One sibling had sexually abused two others. The children were severely sexually acting out with each other. The mother was aware of the sexual abuse but failed to protect her children. Moreover, the mother physically punished a daughter for revealing sexually abusive conduct by a brother. Reunification services to the mother were terminated on May 2, 2005.
