In re L.L. CA4/3
This dependency case involves Y.D. (Mother) and her two children. Her daughter, L.L, is currently 13 years old, and her son, K.E.L., is 16 years old. Mother has sole physical custody of both. L.L. lives with Mother while K.E.L. attends boarding school in Illinois and lives there during the school year. Previously, Orange County Social Services Agency (SSA) investigated Mother in 2017 and 2020 for allegations concerning physical and emotional abuse. These prior investigations uncovered information suggesting Mother was suffering from an undiagnosed mental illness, as she exhibited paranoid and delusional behavior and was abnormally aggressive. However, SSA concluded these prior allegations of abuse were inconclusive or unfounded.
The current investigation arose after L.L. expressed suicidal thoughts and engaged in self-harm. She told SSA her emotional instability was caused by Mother’s erratic behavior and pressure to excel in school.
