In re R.S. CA2/5
This consolidated appeal involves four children—J.S., D.S., S.S., and R.S. (collectively, the Minors)—who share the same parents, defendants and appellants C.B. (Mother) and R.S. (Father). Mother and Father appeal from two orders, one selecting guardianship as the permanent plan for J.S., D.S., and S.S., and one terminating their parental rights over R.S. We consider whether the juvenile court made necessary findings—either express or implied—regarding the applicability of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), and if so, whether substantial evidence supports the finding that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (the Department) complied with the inquiry and notice obligations imposed by ICWA and related provisions of California law.
