In re Lilianna G. CA4/2
The family came to the attention of San Bernardino County Children and Family Services (CFS) in April 2020, when Lilianna was four months old and her half-sister A.G. was seven years old. (A.G. is not a subject of this appeal.) Mother and both children lived with mother’s parents. Lilianna had lived with her maternal grandparents since birth.
CFS received a referral based on an incident of domestic violence between father and mother. Mother and both children were visiting father at a motel when parents got into some sort of quarrel and altercation. Mother called 911. Father, whose breath smelled of alcohol, told a law enforcement officer that mother threw a can of powdered baby formula at him, hitting him in the face. Father had no visible injuries. Mother was arrested for spousal battery.
Later that day, father spoke with a social worker and recanted. He said that he had falsely reported what happened and that he and mother did not have an argument.
