In re H.S. CA1/4
Appellant A.P. (Mother) is the 20-year-old mother of two daughters, R.M. (age two) and H.S. (age four). This appeal concerns only H.S., who was detained by child welfare authorities after her half-sister R.M. was brought to the hospital with 11 broken bones in different stages of healing. Ultimately, the juvenile court sustained R.M.’s petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (e) (severe physical abuse) and H.S.’s petition under section 300, subdivision (j) (abuse of sibling). At the disposition hearing, the juvenile court placed H.S. with her noncustodial father, K.S., and denied Mother reunification services under section 361.2, subdivision (b)(2) and (b)(3). It also reduced Mother’s supervised visits from once a week for one hour to four times a month for one hour each.
