In re A.C. CA3
Appellant K.C. is married to the half-brother of the minor’s mother, S.K. (mother). Mother had an extensive child welfare history and reportedly did not feel she could provide for the minor. Because K.C. was willing to care for the minor, mother stated she intended for the minor to live with K.C. and the half-brother. K.C. arrived at the hospital shortly after the minor was born and was permitted to take the minor pursuant to a safety plan prohibiting the half-brother from living in the family home due to his substance abuse, mental health concerns, and criminal history. The probate court subsequently issued an ex parte order appointing K.C. the temporary guardian of the minor, but a social worker informed K.C. that the Agency would not support K.C.’s request for guardianship and would be seeking to place the minor into protective custody.
At a detention hearing, the juvenile court appointed counsel for K.C.
