In re K.P.
K.P., age two, and K.M., less than one year, became dependents as a result of long-term drug abuse and the extensive criminal histories of their parents.[1] Mother’s parental rights as to two older children had previously been terminated, so the court denied services to mother, but granted services to the father of K.M. Services to the father of K.M. were terminated at the six-month review hearing and a hearing pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code[2] section 366.26, was set for both children. During the interval prior to the section 366.26 hearing, mother completed a three-month residential drug rehabilitation program, gave birth to another child who remained in mother’s care, and resided in a sober living home, which formed the basis for a petition to modify the prior court order pursuant to section 388. The court denied the petition and terminated parental rights. Mother appealed.
On appeal, mother challenges the denial of her section 388 petition as an abuse of discretion. We affirm.
