In re N.A.
This juvenile dependency case concerns two very young children who were removed from parental custody because of their parents drug use and criminal activity. The juvenile court provided six months of reunification services and then terminated services and parental rights. The court also denied the mothers petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 388. This appeal involves the following questions: whether the juvenile court erred in denying the mothers petition, and whether the court complied with the procedural requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.).
Court conclude that substantial evidence supported the juvenile courts finding that the reinstatement of reunification services would not have been in the childrens best interests. As to the second question, we conclude that parents cannot demonstrate any prejudicial error under ICWA. Court affirm the juvenile courts findings and orders.
