In re T.F.D. CA2/1
T.F. (Mother) appeals from the juvenile court’s dispositional orders concerning two of her five children, T.F.D. and Tr.F. She contends that the court erred by placing Tr.F. with his previously noncustodial father, Brandon J., and terminating the court’s jurisdiction over Tr.F. As to T.F.D., Mother contends that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) failed to comply with its duty of inquiry to determine whether there is a reason to believe or know that T.F.D. is an Indian child within the meaning of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.).
We hold that the court did not abuse its discretion in giving custody of Tr.F. to Brandon J. and terminating its jurisdiction. We also conclude that Mother’s ICWA inquiry argument is moot because the court has placed T.F.D. with Mother. We therefore do not include the facts related to that subject.
