In re J.J.A. CA2/6
J.J.A. tested positive for methamphetamine at birth in 2016, was detained at the hospital, and went directly into foster care. His parents, appellants Vanessa A. (Mother) and Jorge A. (Father) have a long history of drug abuse. Reunification services were bypassed owing to Father’s violent felony conviction and Mother’s resistance to court-ordered drug treatment.
The juvenile court found that the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) does not apply, declined to move J.J.A. to the home of his paternal grandmother and, one year after detention, terminated parental rights. The record supports these rulings.
