In re K.B. CA3
Minor was born in 2006 during the marriage of mother and father, J.B. (father). The parents divorced when minor was approximately seven years old. Father was granted sole legal and physical custody over minor in family law court based on allegations that mother physically and emotionally abused minor. The family law court also ordered a restraining order against mother, protecting the minor and father. It is in effect until February 2025 but allows for visitation between mother and the minor.
On August 26, 2020, the Department received a referral concerning the minor’s allegations of emotional and sexual abuse perpetrated by father. A second referral followed when the minor was placed on a psychiatric hold.
The minor reported to the responding social worker that she used to live with mother until the year prior when her mother physically abused her, so she went to live with father. The minor declined to discuss the nature of the physical abuse.
