In re Victoria B. CA5
On November 9, 2018, the Tuolumne County Department of Social Services (the department) initiated dependency proceedings over then 12-year-old Victoria (the child) and her sibling Sean B. (Sean) who were living with their mother. The child’s three-year-old half sibling and nephew, Joseph B., whose parents are the child’s presumed father, John B. (father), and adult half sibling, Autumn A. (Autumn), was found by law enforcement wandering around in only a diaper. Joseph B., mother’s grandchild, was brought to mother’s home by law enforcement, and the conditions of mother’s home were determined to be unsafe and unsanitary.
The child’s family had an extensive history of referrals alleging general neglect and physical, emotional, and sexual abuse with the department dating back to 1992. The reports of neglect and abuse involved unsafe and unsanitary home conditions, poor hygiene involving Sean, and sexual abuse of the child and her siblings by father.
