S.T. v. Superior Court CA5
On May 29, 2018, petitions were filed on behalf of Matthew M. (age 11) and Isabella M. (age 9) pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300 by Tuolumne County Child Welfare Services (child welfare services) alleging the children were at risk of harm due to S.T.’s (mother) addiction to methamphetamine. The children were detained. At the jurisdiction hearing on August 15, 2018, the juvenile court found true allegations that both children suffered substantial risk of physical harm due to their mother’s addiction to methamphetamine. At the conclusion of a disposition hearing on October 12, 2018, the juvenile court found the bypass provisions of section 361.5, subdivision (b)(13) applicable, denied mother reunification services, and set the matter for a permanency planning hearing on February 5, 2019.
