In re Gilbert S. CA4/2
In this appeal from the dispositional order in a dependency case, defendant and appellant, Kendra V. (Mother), contends respondent San Bernardino County Children and Family Services (CFS) failed to comply with the duty of initial inquiry imposed by state statutory provisions implementing the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.; ICWA). We agree and remand for CFS to investigate and report on the potential Indian ancestry of Mother’s children.
