In re L.M. CA4/1
L.G. (Mother) and David M. (Father) separately appeal from the disposition hearing regarding their daughter L.M., who was born with drugs in her system due to Mother's illegal drug use during pregnancy. In her appeal, Mother challenges the juvenile court's denial of reunification services to her under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10), which permits the bypass of services based on a parent's failure to treat the problems that led to removal of a dependent child's sibling or half sibling. In his appeal, Father argues (1) the court abused its discretion in denying his request to continue the contested adjudication and disposition hearing and (2) substantial evidence does not support the court's finding that placing L.M. in his custody would be detrimental to her. We conclude the court did not err on any asserted ground and accordingly affirm.
