Juan V. v. Superior Court CA5
On June 10, 2021, Fresno County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) deputies responded to a report of a baby not breathing at mother’s home. She and father were separated and she lived with her adult son, Romeo, then 17-year-old son, E.G., then two-year-old J.V., and the baby. She worked from 9:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and father stayed with the children while she worked. She left the children with father at approximately 9:45 p.m. the night before and returned at 6:30 a.m. She put a blanket over the baby, who slept in a crib next to her bed, and fell asleep. She awoke around 10:00 a.m. when her sons slammed the front door. When she checked on the baby, he was cold and not breathing. It was determined he had been deceased for some time. A social worker with the Fresno County Department of Social Services (department) took E.G. and J.V. into protective custody and placed them together in foster care.
