In re P.C. CA2/2
Following the juvenile court’s denial of a Welfare and Institutions Code section 388 petition concerning her daughter, P.C. (born Sept. 2015), P.S. (mother) filed the instant appeal, arguing that the juvenile court and Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) failed to comply with their initial duties of inquiry under the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). It is undisputed that DCFS failed to ask mother’s extended family members, namely P.C.’s maternal grandmother and maternal aunt, about Indian ancestry. The issue before us is whether that failure was prejudicial.
We affirm.
