In re J.C. CA5
Dependency jurisdiction was taken over the six children of Ricardo C. (father) and E.G. (mother), after mother and their youngest child tested positive for methamphetamine at the baby’s birth. While mother was given reunification services, father was denied them. Mother’s services, however, were terminated at the six-month review hearing and a Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 hearing was set. The hearing was continued because the Fresno County Department of Social Services (Department) filed its report the day before the hearing. Mother and father were late to the continued hearing, appearing while the juvenile court was in the middle of issuing its findings and orders, which included a finding that the children were adoptable and an order terminating parental rights.
