In re Alexis P
In 2002, the juvenile court sustained a dependency petition under section 300 of the Welfare and Institutions Code on behalf of Alexis, then four years of age. She was detained from her parents and placed with a family member, Ms. M. Several years later, in June 2007, the court appointed Ms. M. as Alexis’s legal guardian under the Kinship Guardianship Assistance Payment (Kin-GAP) program, and dismissed the dependency action. Notwithstanding the termination of its dependency jurisdiction, the juvenile court retained general jurisdiction over Alexis as a ward of the guardianship.
