Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Donna Levin, Referee. Dismissed. Robin G., in pro. per.; and Kate M. Chandler, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent. ——————————

Robin G. (Mother) appeals from the dependency court’s jurisdictional and dispositional order removing her newborn son Tyler from her care.

Mother’s pediatrician at the hospital told the social worker that Mother “seemed a little off.” He explained that because Tyler was not feeding well, the hospital told Mother he would need to stay for a few days. At first, Mother seemed to understand, but five minutes later, Mother was upset and wondered why she and the baby could not go home. Mother stated she had no family or friends. On August 31, 2012, the social worker went to Mother’s room at a residence hotel and spoke to Robert Collins, the maintenance man. He told the social worker Mother had
