In re Cassandra Q.
Appellant, appeals the order terminating parental rights to his daughters, Cassandra Q. (born June 2003) and Dana Q. (born February 2005). Appellant contends the juvenile court erred in terminating parental rights because the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) improperly denied him visitation rights, thereby depriving him of the ability to establish a statutory exception (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(a)) to termination of parental rights.
However, no evidence supports the assertion that visitation was wrongfully thwarted by DCFS, which was given discretion to deny monitored visits to appellant, who had caused severe physical and emotional trauma to the children. Court thus affirm the order terminating parental rights.
