In re Savanna N. CA2/3
Melanie N. appeals from the order of the juvenile court terminating her parental rights to six-year-old Savanna N. under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. She contends that the court violated due process by proceeding with the termination hearing in her absence because the Department of Children and Family Services (the Department) failed to exercise due diligence to locate her and failed to serve notice on the grandparents (§ 294, subd. (f)(7)(A)). We conclude, even assuming error, that on this record Melanie has not and cannot demonstrate prejudice beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly, we affirm the order terminating her parental rights.
