In re R.A. CA3
On October 26, 2021, the Sacramento County Department of Child, Family and Adult Services (Department) filed a section 300 petition on behalf of the (then) two-year-old minor alleging the minor was at substantial risk of harm due to mother’s untreated substance abuse; he was detained and placed in foster care.
At the time of the minor’s detention, father was incarcerated. He reported to the Department that he had been incarcerated for “ ‘around four months.’ ”
On December 2, 2021, the Department filed its jurisdiction/disposition report. As relevant here, the report set forth father’s criminal record, which extended from 1982 and included a 1983 conviction for sexual battery (Pen. Code, § 243.4), as well as 10 convictions for failing to register as a sex offender. The report noted the Department had requested but not yet obtained a certified record for the 1983 conviction. The Department had tried to locate father on the Megan’s Law sex offender registry but could not.
