In re A.R. CA4/2
This is the third appeal in this dependency case. The mother of three children has had open juvenile dependency cases since shortly after her second child tested positive for amphetamines at birth. She struggled to maintain sobriety since, and ultimately the juvenile court judge terminated her parental rights over all three children.

Mapes erred by not giving him preference for placement as a relative under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.3 (unlabeled statutory citations refer to this code),
