K.S. v. Superior Court CA1/1
In August 2020, the Contra Costa County Children and Family Services Bureau (Bureau) received a report from a Nevada child welfare worker that A.S. had reportedly been born on the side of the road while mother and M.H. were traveling from California to Las Vegas. Upon presenting the baby at a Las Vegas hospital, mother tested positive for marijuana and opiates. M.H. provided a false name for mother upon admission, and the child was believed to be older than reported. A.S. was doing well but tested positive for marijuana. After being informed by the Bureau that mother’s four older children had all been removed and placed in permanent out-of-home care, Nevada child welfare detained A.S. On September 10, 2020, it was determined pursuant to the uniform child custody jurisdiction and enforcement act (UCCJEA) that A.S.’s home state is California, and he was released to the Bureau.
Mother named M.H. as A.S.’s father on September 14, 2020.
