Jason H. v. Superior Court CA5
On June 1, 2019, police officers responded to a report of domestic violence between father and his ex-girlfriend, S.V., Bella’s mother. Bella lived with father in the home of the paternal grandmother, Mildred, who was out of town. Mother had spent the night. Father went through mother’s tablet and noticed she was talking with other men. When she attempted to leave, he flung an Igloo water cooler at her striking her on the right forearm and kicked her twice on her left leg and ankle. She had visible injuries as a result. The parents continued their argument in the vehicle as father was taking mother home and Bella witnessed their physical altercation. A bystander contacted police and father was arrested. There was an active restraining order protecting mother from him.
Bella was taken into protective custody and placed with her godmother.
