In re Serenity D. CA2/7
1. The Detention of Serenity and Levi
On April 16, 2021 the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services received a report that, on the previous day, Aaron and Vanessa had engaged in a physical altercation in front of Serenity. When interviewed by a Department social worker the following week, Aaron explained he and Vanessa had been married for 10 years and had separated in January 2021. On the day of the altercation Aaron was home with Vanessa, his two brothers, Alan H. and Abram H., and Serenity. Earlier that day Vanessa and Aaron had been sexually intimate, and Vanessa had surreptitiously recorded the encounter on her cell phone. She threatened to post the video to her social media account and send it to Aaron’s girlfriend. Aaron took the phone from Vanessa to try to delete the video. According to Aaron, Vanessa began slapping and punching him in an attempt to get the phone back.
