K.S. v. Superior Court CA4/2
K.S. was the foster parent and prospective adoptive parent to E.G., born in 2011 with drugs in his system and developmental delays. In 2016, with adoption the approved permanent plan and an approved home study, K.S. received into her home a four-month old infant; one week after placement, that infant was hospitalized in cardiac arrest, with a depressed skull fracture and subdural hemorrhaging from an acute, non-accidental trauma. As a result, E.G. was removed from the home of K.S., he was placed in a relative home, and K.S.’s application for de facto parent standing was denied. K.S. objected to the removal of E.G. from her home, but, after a contested hearing, the court found that it would not be in his best interests to return to her home. K.S. appealed the removal, but later filed a petition captioned as a petition for writ of habeas corpus.
