In re Eric B. CA3
Eric B. (the minor) was detained at birth due primarily to mother’s substance abuse. Mother’s parental rights to two other children had been previously terminated. Father is a registered sex offender with mental health issues. Prior to the minor’s birth, the parents had attempted to make arrangements to have L.A., the fiancée of mother’s cousin, be the minor’s guardian. The paperwork, however, was not completed before the minor was born. The minor was placed in a foster home and the Sacramento County Department of Child, Family and Adult Services (the Department) began assessment of L.A.’s home for placement.
The juvenile court took jurisdiction and bypassed parents for reunification services at disposition. The Department ultimately recommended against placement of the minor with L.A. Hearing on the matter took place concurrently with the Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 hearing.
