Vanessa V. v. Superior Court
Petitioner Vanessa V. (mother) is the mother of Elena M. (child), a dependent minor born in August 2004. In this petition, mother challenges the juvenile courts decision at the jurisdiction and disposition hearing on a supplemental (Welf. & Inst. Code, 387) dependency petition to remove the child from her custody, terminate reunification services, and set a section 366.26 permanent plan hearing. Specifically, mother argues: 1) there was not clear and convincing evidence of a substantial risk of danger to the child if left in mothers custody; and 2) there was not clear and convincing evidence that the minors physical health could be protected only by removal from mothers custody. As discussed below, Court reject mothers contentions and deny the petition.
