Mateo G. CA2/4
Mother has an extensive dependency history for issues arising out of substance abuse and child neglect. Because the sole issue on appeal relates to ICWA compliance, we omit a summary of the facts leading to the court’s jurisdiction over her children, Mateo G. (born July 2017) and Dominic B. (born Aug. 2018).
In a May 2021 detention report, DCFS reported that mother had denied having any Indian heritage. Both children were placed in the home of Mateo’s paternal grandparents, Maria G. and Audie G. On May 26 and 27, 2019, mother and Mateo’s father, Adam G., filed separate Parental Notification of Indian Status (ICWA-020) forms in which they indicated that they did not have any known Indian ancestry.
Present at the detention hearing were mother, maternal grandmother, Tina W., Adam G., and Maria G. Dominic’s alleged father, Jose N., did not appear at the detention hearing. The court did not ask anyone present at the hearing whether Mateo or Dominic were Indian children.
