In re Princess L. CA4/1
Princess L., who is now 10 years old, was adjudicated a dependent of the juvenile court in March 2015. Her mother, J.K., had a history of noncompliance with treatment for her mental health condition, which was diagnosed as bipolar disorder with dependent and borderline personality characteristics. Princess had limited contact with her father. He did not participate in reunification services. The court placed Princess in the care of her maternal grandparents (Grandparents).
During the first six-month review period, J.K. exhibited volatile behavior and violent outbursts. In early 2015, J.K. came to Grandparents' home unannounced several times. On one occasion, J.K. was yelling and Princess locked herself in the bathroom. She asked Grandmother, "Why don't I have a normal mom? When will this be over?" On another occasion, J.K. was swearing and yelling. Princess told the social worker her mother's behaviors made her feel sad and scared.
