In re J.V. CA3
Joseph originally came to the attention of the San Joaquin County Human Services Agency (Agency) in March 2016 when he was born with alcohol in his system. Mother admitted to drinking alcohol throughout her pregnancy, and father agreed to safeguard Joseph in light of mother’s substance abuse. However, the Agency lost track of the family when they moved.
The family again came to the Agency’s attention when mother gave birth to Joseph’s brother, M.V., prematurely at 28 weeks in December 2018. M.V. tested positive for alcohol, and mother admitted to drinking alcohol throughout her pregnancy until approximately one month before M.V. was born. Father told the Agency that Joseph lived with him because of father’s concerns about mother’s drinking problem. While father worked, Joseph was cared for by relatives. Mother told the Agency that she and father were still in a relationship, although they lived separately.
