In re D.M. CA2/3
The Department became involved when it received a report alleging mother was smoking methamphetamine in D.M.’s presence. At the time, mother and father were not in a relationship; D.M. lived with mother. Father was living with paternal grandmother, paternal aunt, and D.M.’s half-sibling S.W.—father’s daughter from another relationship. (The juvenile court declared S.W. a dependent in February 2011. It ultimately terminated its jurisdiction and awarded father and S.W.’s mother joint custody.)
After investigating the initial allegation and additional allegations about domestic violence between mother and her boyfriend, the Department had D.M. removed from mother and released to father.
