In re A.M. CA2/1
The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) initiated juvenile dependency proceedings concerning A.M., F.M., Vi.M., M.M., and Va.M. on the grounds that their mother (mother) and the biological father of A.M. and F.M. (G.R.) had physically abused A.M. and F.M. At the outset of the proceedings, the juvenile court declared that A.M. had two presumed fathers—(1) G.R. and (2) A.S., who is the biological father of Vi.M., M.M., and Va.M. The court also found that A.S. is the sole presumed father of F.M., Vi.M., M.M., and Va.M. The court later sustained an amended version of the initial petition, which included an allegation that A.S. had exposed F.M. to A.S.’s domestic violence against mother. The juvenile court declared all five children dependents of the court, removed them from their parents, and ordered DCFS to provide family reunification services.
