In re D.T. CA2/8
In September 2018, the mother and her boyfriend brought the boyfriend’s 19-month-old daughter to the ER with first degree burns on her legs and buttocks. The daughter had been in the mother’s care. The doctors who examined the child believed the injuries were inconsistent with the mother’s story or with an accident. It looked as though the child had been dipped in hot water.
The mother, boyfriend, and Department agreed to a safety plan. After the mother and boyfriend failed to comply with the plan, the Department detained D.T., the mother’s then three-year-old daughter, from the mother. The Department filed a petition alleging D.T. was at risk in the mother’s care based on several injuries the boyfriend’s daughter suffered while in the mother’s care.
In November 2019, the juvenile court ordered D.T. detained from her mother. The mother had monitored visits with D.T. that went well.
