In re D.D. CA4/3
Appellants B.R. (mother) and C.D. (father) are the parents of D.D. and Z.D. The family’s history with dependency proceedings began in 2015 in Los Angeles County, when mother requested D.D.’s removal from her home. D.D. was placed with father and jurisdiction was terminated with full custody to father under a family maintenance plan. In April of 2019 (after Z.D.’s birth), problems began again, this time in Orange County. The family was living in an apartment provided as part of a program aimed at homelessness, which forbade consumption of alcohol. Father was consuming alcohol, which made mother fear the family would be evicted. The parents argued and a fight ensued. Z.D. was sleeping in a separate room during the fight, but D.D. witnessed it directly.
D.D. told social workers the fight was not an isolated incident and reported feeling afraid and sad when his parents fought.
