In re Y.W. CA2/6
In February, 2016, 17-year-old Y.W. lived with four other young men in a therapeutic group home in Santa Maria. Y.W. shared a bedroom with minor resident A.L.
L.W. was employed as a child care worker in the group home. She worked a 12-hour shift from 10:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m.; her duties included helping the minors with homework, dinner, chores, and bedtime. L.W. was also employed as a juvenile institutions officer and for that employment received training in self-defense.
In the evening of February 5, 2016, Y.W. informed another resident, J.F., that A.L. planned to “attack” L.W. that night. Y.W. asked J.F. to “stop” A.L. from attacking her. J.F. agreed but did not think an assault would occur because A.L. “is not that dumb.”
