Kimberly M. v. Superior Court CA5
In October 2018, the juvenile court denied Kimberly M. (mother) reunification services as to her then 31-month-old son Maximiliano under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.5, subdivision (b)(5) and set a section 366.26 hearing for January 29, 2019. Subdivision (b)(5) of section 361.5 allows the juvenile court to deny services to a parent whose conduct resulted in the severe physical abuse of his or her child. Mother contends there was insufficient evidence Maximiliano suffered severe physical abuse and seeks reversal of the court’s orders by extraordinary writ. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.450 & 8.452.) We deny the writ petition.
