In re P.J. et al., Persons Coming Under the Juvenile C076546 Court Law.

SHASTA COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN (Super. Ct. Nos. SERVICES AGENCY, 13JVSQ2283202, 13JVSQ2992601, Plaintiff and Respondent, 13JVSQ2992701, 13JVSQ2992801) v.

Crystal J.,

Crystal J., mother of the minors, appeals from the judgment of disposition. (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 355, 358, 360, 395 [further undesignated statutory references are to the

The petition also alleged the twins’ father was convicted in 2009 of domestic violence due to an incident with mother which resulted in injury to one of the twins. The minors did not feel safe in the home. After reports of domestic violence in the home, the social worker spoke to the twins. The twins said they did not like D.H. because he was always yelling and screaming, even at the baby. J.C. said mother had thrown things at D.H. during their fights and the fighting made her sad. The twins wanted the fighting to stop and D.H. to leave the home. P.J. confirmed there were daily fights and often items were thrown.
