L.C. v. Superior Court CA4/3
B.M. (the minor), then seven years of age, was taken into protective custody when his mother, L.C. (mother) was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI); the minor was in the car with mother at the time. After 19 months of apparent sobriety, mother suffered a serious relapse and a supplemental petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 387 was filed. (All further statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code.) Based on the Orange County Social Services Agency’s (SSA) recommendation, the juvenile court terminated services and set a permanency hearing. Mother timely filed a petition for a writ of mandate. Both SSA and the minor oppose mother’s petition.
