Arturo B. v. Sup. Ct.
Pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 8.452, Arturo B., seeks review of the order scheduling a permanency planning hearing for his son, Jermaine B. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26.)[1] Due to his criminal record, Arturo was deported to Mexico before Jermaine was detained. Arturo has remained in Mexico throughout these proceedings, has outstanding arrest warrants in the United States, and has no intention of returning. Although Arturo participated in services in Mexico, including counseling, parenting, and drug testing, he has had no visits with the child and has no parental relationship with him. Child welfare authorities in Mexico eventually found Arturo to be an inappropriate placement for Jermaine. In this proceeding, Arturo contends: (1) there is insufficient evidence to support the juvenile courts detriment finding; and (2) services were not reasonable because the Orange County Social Services Agency (SSA) should have transported Jermaine to Mexico for visits. Court find no error and deny the petition.
