In re H.D. CA4/2
J.G. (Mother) has a long history of substance abuse and domestic violence, resulting in her severely beating her 20-month-old son. She was found guilty and incarcerated for the abuse, and her parental rights were terminated as to her son and another son born during her incarceration. Upon her release from custody, Mother returned to her lifestyle of substance abuse and domestic violence. She conceived again, giving birth to H.D., the minor at issue in this case. Mother continued to abuse drugs, resulting in Mother’s arrest for violating her parole and H.D. being detained from parental custody at age five months.
From detention through the contested jurisdictional/dispositional hearing, Mother and Robert D. (Father) engaged in substance abuse and domestic violence, and were both arrested. Only just prior to the dispositional hearing did Mother finally begin an outpatient substance abuse program.
