In re Beautifull C. CA2/7
Beautifull Tests Positive for Methamphetamine at Birth; the Department Files a Petition Under Section 300, Subdivisions (b)(1) and (j); and the Juvenile Court Sustains the Petition and Removes Her
When Pricilla gave birth to Beautifull in July 2020, they both tested positive for methamphetamine. Pricilla denied abusing drugs and claimed a friend gave her a cup of coffee that “must have been spiked with [m]ethamphetamines.” Johnny denied seeing Pricilla use drugs. One week later, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services filed a petition under section 300, subdivision (b)(1), alleging that Pricilla’s substance abuse placed Beautifull at risk of serious physical harm and interfered with Pricilla’s ability to provide regular care for Beautifull, that Johnny failed to protect Beautifull from Pricilla’s substance abuse, and that Johnny’s substance abuse interfered with his ability to provide regular care for Beautifull.
