Michelle S. v. Superior Court
This petition involves minors G.S. (born in 2003) and his older half brother, N.A. (born in 1991). G.S. and N.A. first became the subject of referrals to the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services (department) in late 2003. Michelle S. (mother) had given birth to six children, but had custody of only three. She was living in a relatives garage without gas or electricity and she was on medication for bipolar disorder. Before being discharged from the hospital, following the birth of G.S., she had panic attacks and attempted to remove intravenous needles. She failed to make arrangements for needed follow up care for G.S., who was born prematurely. In this petition, mother contends that the court erred in denying her request because she had established that her circumstances had changed for the better and that the minors would be better off with her. The petition for writ of mandate is denied.
