In re Luis L. CA5
Nine-year-old Luis was removed from mother’s custody in October 2018 along with his five-year-old sister H.L. and two-year-old sister J.M. by the Kings County Human Services Agency (agency) because of mother’s ongoing methamphetamine use and failure to adequately supervise and care for the children. The children were placed in foster care.
Mother received 12 months of reunification services and consistently visited the children but continued to use methamphetamine. At the 12-month review hearing in December 2019, the juvenile court terminated mother’s reunification services and set a Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 hearing. The court ordered continued weekly supervised visits for mother with the children. By that time, the children were living in separate foster homes because of their disruptive behavior. Luis, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, was in his seventh placement.
