In re Daniel A. CA5
On September 2, 2019, the department received a referral on behalf of the children after their three-year-old brother, A.A., suffered serious physical trauma that resulted in his death while in the care of mother and Randy A. (father). Two days later, the department filed a petition pursuant to section 300, subdivisions (a), (b)(1), (c), (f), (i), and (j) on behalf of the children, alleging the circumstances surrounding A.A.’s death placed them at substantial risk of suffering serious physical harm and neglect. The children were placed in a licensed foster home.
The detention report showed that in June 2016 the children and A.A. were removed from mother’s custody in a Los Angeles County dependency case due to father’s substance abuse and mental health problems. Mother and father were ordered to participate in reunification services. Mother successfully reunified with the children, but father’s services were terminated after he failed to comply with his case plan.
