In re William S.
Kenneth S. (Kenneth) is the father of Kenneth S., Jr., (Kenneth Jr.) born May 2002, and William S., born July 2004 (children). The San Diego CountyHealth and Human Services Agency (Agency) received numerous referrals alleging the children were at risk because of on-going domestic violence, neglect, and their mother's history of substance abuse.[1] In January 2005 Kenneth and the children's mother separated after Kenneth was arrested for spousal abuse, spousal battery and child endangerment.
In March 2005 the children were removed from the custody of their mother when police officers observed hypodermic needles and methamphetamine pipes within Kenneth Jr.'s reach. Kenneth Jr. tested positive for methamphetamine. The children were adjudicated dependents of the juvenile court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b).
The court ordered a permanent plan of guardianship for the children with Uncle and directed that Kenneth's visitation was to be supervised by a professional visitation service, as approved by the family court with the assistance of family court services. The court terminated dependency jurisdiction.
The judgments and orders are affirmed.
