In re J.H. CA5
On December 7, 2020, the department received a referral on behalf of the children and their two siblings after Jennifer M. (mother) left them with maternal grandmother and did not return. Maternal grandmother called child welfare services and reported she could no longer care for the children and requested that someone pick them up. During the investigation, a social worker interviewed maternal grandmother, maternal stepgrandfather, and mother’s adult son. Mother and the children had been living with the maternal grandparents for eight months, but mother left after she got into an argument with maternal stepgrandfather. Father was incarcerated. Two days after the department received the referral, the children were detained and placed in a licensed foster home. One of the children’s siblings was left in relative placement with the maternal grandparents.
