In re K.M. CA4/2
This case has a very long history and has entailed multiple appeals. For purposes of this appeal, the following are the pertinent facts.
The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) initiated this dependency in October 2009 after receiving a referral that then six-year-old Ki. and four-year-old Ke. were at risk for physical abuse by father. DCFS filed petitions pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300 with respect to both boys alleging that father abused the children by striking them and by grabbing Ki. around the neck, and threatening him by saying he would never see his family again if he told anyone about the abuse. As to mother, the petition alleged that she failed to protect her children from abuse by father. The trial court placed the children with mother.
