In re Jo. M. CA2/5
This family—mother C.M., father J.A., and their four children, Jo. M., Ju. M., S.M. and K.M.—has a long and disheartening history with the juvenile justice system. The three eldest children, born in 2005, 2006, and 2007, were initially brought into the dependency system in 2007 as a result of the parents’ domestic violence, neglect, mother’s drug abuse and father’s alcohol abuse. The youngest child, K.M., was born in 2008, during pendency of the initial juvenile court proceedings, and he was declared a dependent as well. At the time, J.A. was deemed the presumed father of the two eldest children, Jo. M. and Ju. M., but not as to S.M. or K.M. Jurisdiction was terminated in December 2009 with family law “exit orders” granting mother full legal and physical custody of the children.
