In re D.S. CA5
Police responded to a domestic violence call on February 3, 2020, wherein mother reported father had punched her in the ear while D.S., then age six, and his eight-year-old half sibling D.J. were present. An arrest warrant was issued for father, who was on felony probation for domestic violence and not present when police arrived.
After mother later refused entry into the family home, the agency received a protective custody warrant authorizing removal of and placement of the children into foster care. Father was later arrested.
A section 300 petition was filed April 1, 2020, alleging the children were at risk of harm due to a history of domestic violence between mother and father and that mother, despite having a restraining order, allowed father to remain in the home.
The children were detained at the April 2, 2020, detention hearing.
