In re M.H. CA4/3
A.B. (Mother) appeals from the juvenile court’s dispositional order vesting physical custody of her now seven-year-old daughter, M.H., outside her care and continuing M.H.’s placement with her maternal grandmother. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 361, subd. (c)(1), (c)(4).) Mother does not challenge the juvenile court’s jurisdictional order sustaining allegations of recent sexual abuse by Mother’s boyfriend Javier Belmontes and “another unknown adult,” along with general neglect (failure to protect). (§ 300, subds. (b), (g).) The juvenile court entered those jurisdictional findings despite Mother’s denial of “any knowledge of sexual abuse” and her denial of “any problem with substance abuse” that could pose a risk of harm to M.H. Rather, Mother contests the sufficiency of the evidence to support removing M.H. from her custody and, in a related argument, contends the court should have ordered family maintenance services rather than reunification services.
