In re Z.C. CA4/2
F.C. (also known as F.M.; Father) and S.C. (Mother) appeal after the termination of their parental rights to Z.C. (Minor) at a Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 hearing. Father had a violent criminal history. Mother, who had seven other children removed from her custody due to substance abuse, tested positive for methamphetamine at the time of Minor’s birth. Further, Father assaulted his sister, M.A. (Aunt) during the pending dependency proceedings. Father and Mother (Parents) were both denied reunification services. Parents participated in some services on their own and maintained visitation after the disposition hearing. The juvenile court denied their section 388 petitions requesting reunification services or return of Minor to their care without a hearing. The parental rights of Mother and Father were terminated at the section 366.26 hearing and Minor was freed for adoption.
