In re I.L. CA2/5
A the 18-month/permanency review hearing, the juvenile court terminated reunification services for Rosemary L. (mother) and her almost-17-year-old son, I.L., who remained placed with an adult sibling. Mother appeals. We affirm.
I.L. and his sister, E.L., are mother and father’s youngest children. When these proceedings were initiated, mother and father had been together for 24 years. Their relationship was marred by decades of domestic abuse, particularly when father was intoxicated. One such incident occurred on May 8, 2014. Both children intervened to protect their mother, and father struck then 14-year-old I.L. The police and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) investigated.
