Fallon B. (mother) appeals from the juvenile court’s judgment terminating jurisdiction and order awarding mother only monitored visitation with her three children, Bianca B., age nine, Cadence P., age eight, and M. J., age three. Mother contends that (1) she was not provided with adequate notice that the court would modify her visitation, and (2) continued jurisdiction was in the children’s best interests because the court did not have sufficient information about the children’s fathers’ ability to provide them with safe homes or “the quality of the children’s visits with [] mother.” We disagree and affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND On February 22, 2011, the Department of Children and Family Services (Department) received a referral alleging that mother had “mental health issues” and there was domestic violence between her and Mi., M.’s father. The Department found the allegations to be “substantiated,” and recommended that mother enroll in parenting and domestic violence classes. Mother voluntarily agreed to participate in family maintenance services but did not complete the domestic violence class. On March 5, 2013, mother walked into M.’s day care shouting for M. The director of the day care said that mother was “in a rage screaming and holl[er]ing I want my mother fucking baby right now,” and “grab[bed] the baby and his backpack and r[a]n for the front door.” Mother “was complaining Mi. [had] serve[d] [her] [with] some court paper trying to take [her] m[other-]f[ucking] son,” and threatened that Mi. would “never see him again.” Two days later, mother came to pick up M. at the day care center with a black eye and bruises on her body, and told the director the injuries were a result of a fight with her girlfriend. On March 8, 2013, the Department received a referral alleging that mother and her girlfriend, Jessica E., engaged in frequent domestic violence. According to the reporting party, the children had been present during a recent incident which left mother with two black eyes, scratches on her face, and a “big gash” on her arm. The Department investigated the referral. Mother denied any domestic violence with Jessica, but admitted that she had previously engaged in domestic violence with
