In re B.A. CA5
On July 18, 2017, a petition was filed by the Tulare County Health and Human Services Agency (agency) pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300 alleging that B.A., then three years old, was at serious risk of physical harm because her mother A.A. (mother) had bound and gagged B.A. by placing socks in her mouth and taping it shut. In addition to the physical abuse she suffered from mother, B.A. was further at risk because her two-year-old cousin had also been abused, hospitalized, unable to breathe on his own, and later died from the physical abuse inflicted by mother, mother’s sister, and another adult roommate. There were further allegations against mother for failure to protect, severe physical abuse, cruelty, and inability to care for B.A. due to incarceration.
