In re Christopher T. CA4/1
Heather B. and Gregory B. appeal an order denying their petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 388 in the juvenile dependency case of their nephew Christopher T., Jr. (Christopher). In their petition, Heather and Gregory argued that the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (the Agency) failed to follow the relative placement preference under section 361.3, subdivision (d) when the Agency changed Christopher's placement after his parents' parental rights were terminated. Heather and Gregory sought an order placing Christopher at their home in Virginia. The juvenile court denied the petition on the grounds that (1) the relative placement preference did not apply and (2) even if it did apply, the court would not place Christopher with Heather and Gregory because it was not in Christopher's best interest.
