In re M.H. CA2/1
M.H. came to the attention of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) when father was arrested and convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), after an accident with 17-month-old M.H. in the car, on February 7, 2015. Father, who tested above the legal limit and admitted he had drunk two beers, was driving at 45 miles per hour when he lost control and hit a parked car. M.H. required emergency medical treatment for a fractured foot, abrasions, and bruising to his temple. DCFS filed a petition on September 28, 2015, alleging under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b), that father’s DUI endangered M.H., and that father abused alcohol, marijuana, and prescription medicine, suffered from bipolar disorder, and failed to take his prescribed psychotropic medicine. Mother failed to protect M.H.
