1 All statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code unless otherwise stated.

On March 10, 2011, the Ventura County Human Services Agency (HSA) filed a juvenile dependency petition under section 300, subdivisions (b) and (g). At the time the petition was filed, Lillian was two years old and F. was one year old. A report filed by HSA in support of the petition stated: In January 2011 Mother was convicted of child endangerment. The police found her lying on the grass outside her home, heavily intoxicated. Her children had been left without supervision. Mother is 24 years old. She admitted that she has been an alcoholic since age 14. She has a history of convictions for substance abuse and violence. Mother also suffers from mental health problems, including bipolar disorder. After Mother's child endangerment conviction, she entered a residential drug and alcohol abuse treatment program with her children. Program personnel reported to HSA that Mother was close to being discharged from the residential program for fighting with other residents. The person reporting the matter stated she was concerned for the safety of the children because Mother has a violent temper and does not watch her children. The report also noted that Father has a history of criminal violence and substance abuse, and is currently incarcerated for domestic violence against Mother. He is scheduled to be released in June 2012. He has not seen F. since she was 10 months old. The trial court granted the petition. The court ordered family reunification services for Mother. The court did not order reunification services for Father. Mother was granted supervised visitation with the children. The HSA report prepared for the six-month review recommended termination of services to Mother and that the children remain in foster care with a permanent plan of adoption. The report stated: Mother did not follow her case plan. She did not follow through with a referral to a counseling program to address her anger. She was dropped from another program for fighting. She was arrested for public intoxication after she got into a fight
