In re K.R. CA4/2
In February 2021, the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) filed a dependency petition regarding mother’s three minor children, K.R. (born June 2005), C.R. (born November 2007), and G.G. (born April 2009). The children had been removed from mother’s care a few days earlier and placed with an uncle. DPSS alleged all three children came within section 300, subdivision (b)(1) (failure to protect), and that the children came within section 300, subdivision (c) (serious emotional damage). According to DPSS, all three children had suffered verbal abuse by mother, and mother had engaged in verbal and physical domestic violence in their presence. K.R. allegedly had suffered serious emotional damage, including “diagnoses of depression and anxiety.” K.R. was pregnant, and mother had not only failed to seek out prenatal care and treatment for K.R., but also “threaten[ed] to harm [her] unborn child.”
