In re K.H. CA1/5
On October 8, 2021, the Marin County Department of Children and Family Services (Department) filed section 300 petitions alleging Minors, then six years old and one year old, were at substantial risk of suffering harm because of Mother’s inability “to supervise or protect [them] adequately due to mental health concerns.”
In a report filed in advance of the detention hearing, the Department reported that Mother went to the emergency room on October 6 with physical complaints, and was placed on a section 5150 psychiatric hold due to “histrionic behaviors” and “paranoid statements,” including statements that people were videotaping her and breaking into her home while she slept. After being placed in the psychiatric unit, Mother stated a camera had been installed in her vehicle’s license plate and she had been followed to the hospital, whoever had been following her had a key to her hospital room, and she had heard multiple attempts to open her room with a key.
