In re I.C. CA6
In this appeal, D.G. (Mother) asks us to reverse a juvenile court order issued by the court pursuant to section 361.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code denying her reunification services with respect to her daughter, I.C.. At the March 2018 dispositional hearing in this matter, the trial court bypassed Mother for reunification services in accordance with subdivision of section 361.5. Under those provisions, the court is not required to offer reunification services to a parent if the court has previously terminated reunification services or parental rights with respect to a sibling or half sibling of the child and the parent “has not subsequently made a reasonable effort to treat the problems that led to removal of the sibling or half sibling . . . .” Mother argues that the juvenile court erred in finding that she had not made reasonable efforts to treat her long-standing substance abuse issues.
