M.D. v. Superior Court CA2/11
M.D. (mother) filed this petition for extraordinary writ after the juvenile court set a hearing to terminate her parental rights. Mother and father, who is not a party to the writ, have one daughter, A.V. She was five months old when the juvenile court took jurisdiction over her and removed her from her parents’ custody based on allegations of physical abuse. During the reunification period, mother was offered and participated in services for 12 months. At the 12-month review hearing (Welf. And Inst. Code, § 366.21, subd. (f)(1), unlabeled statutory citations refer to this code) the juvenile court followed the recommendations of San Bernardino County Children and Family Services (the department) by terminating services and setting a permanency planning hearing under section 366.26.
