In re I.C. CA1/3
Mother and presumed father are the parents of I.C. (born 2009) and M.C. (born 2010). Several years after the children were born, the parents separated; the children initially spent time with mother then father reportedly took custody due to mother’s methamphetamine use. Just before the agency’s intervention in 2019, the children (then 10-year-old I.C. and 9-year-old M.C.) were living with father and his girlfriend. During the agency’s investigation leading to the court’s intervention, father and the children’s maternal aunts reported that mother was living in a vehicle and struggling with mental health and substance use issues.
Following its investigation concerning father’s behavior, the agency took the children into protective custody on November 4, 2019. The next day, the agency placed the children with their maternal aunt B.C. and her partner. The children have lived there since their removal and B.C. wishes to adopt the children if reunification fails.
