In re A.A. CA4/2
J.A. (father) and D.V. (mother) are married and have at least three children together. G.A. (G.), the eldest of these, had a baby of her own when she was just 16. In a separate dependency proceeding, the baby was removed from her custody.
Meanwhile, G. was using drugs, including methamphetamine, and she was showing signs of mental illness (possibly drug-induced). She was frequently AWOL from both home and school. She failed to comply with her reunification services plan. When Children and Family Services (CFS) investigated, it concluded that the parents were failing to supervise G. and, in addition, that the father had a drinking problem.
CFS therefore filed dependency petitions regarding not only G., but also her younger siblings, J.A. (J.) and A.A. (A.). The children were not detained. The juvenile court declared all three children dependents.
