In re D.G. CA6
In July 2016, the Monterey County Department of Social Services (Department) filed petitions under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (b)(1), relative to two girls, D.G. and A.G. (collectively, the minors). The Department alleged that the prior month the minors’ mother, R.J. (mother), had gone to Sacramento and had left the minors, their sibling, V.G., and three half-siblings with their maternal grandparents. The grandparents were not guardians of the children. The investigating social worker visiting the grandparents’ home found minimal food in the house and that the children were hungry and unsupervised. The father of V.G. and the minors, J.G. (father), arrived later and told the social worker that he had cared for the children for approximately one week, but had then returned them to their grandparents because he had no day care. The Department placed the minors and the other children into protective custody.
