In re Arline S.
In this writ proceeding, petitioner father is the father of Arline S., whom the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) detained at approximately three years of age. At the 18 month review hearing, the juvenile court terminated reunification services and scheduled a hearing pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 to implement a long term plan for Arline.
Court hold that substantial evidence does not support the finding that returning Arline to father's custody at the 18 month review hearing would have created a substantial risk of detriment to her safety, protection, or physical or emotional well being. Court therefore grant the petition and issue the writ.
