THE PEOPLE, (Super. Ct. No. JV131260)

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

D.G.,

Defendant and Appellant.

This case comes to us pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and In re Kevin S. (2003) 113 Cal.App.4th 97 (Kevin S.). Having reviewed the record as required by Wende and Kevin S., we affirm the judgment. BACKGROUND D.G. (the minor), who was declared a dependent of the court in 1998 after suffering severe neglect by her mother, first came under the supervision of the

Sacramento County Probation Department (the Department) in April 2010, when the Department filed a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition alleging the minor created a disturbance in a public school.1 The trial court converted the case from dependency to delinquency in August 2012 and declared the minor a ward of the court. Between April 2010 and September 2014 the Department filed multiple additional petitions and violations of probation. The allegations increased in seriousness, including charges of battery, attempted carjacking, and robbery. The minor repeatedly ran away from placements. The juvenile court also removed her from a foster home placement in April 2014 because she committed verbal assaults and vandalism in the home, and from a group home placement for assaulting a staff member. While placed at juvenile hall, she had numerous incident reports of disrespect, noncompliance, and threatening harm to herself or others. On September 2, 2014, the Department filed a section 777 petition alleging a violation of probation by assaulting a supervisor at the group home, Stevie Powell. On June 3, 2014, the minor had been at the home for about 24 hours when she was informed she would not be allowed to go home for 30 days. Her mother-in-law and daughter would be allowed to visit her. She became angry and started yelling, so Powell let her speak with her mother-in-law on the phone. The minor appeared to calm down, but then began roaming around the house in a manner violative of the house rules. Powell advised her to stop. The minor became angry again and yelled at and threatened Powell, other minors in the home, and staff. She then mentioned a knife and threatened a specific child. Powell stepped in her way and the minor pushed her out of the way. Powell called law enforcement. The minor denied saying the word “knife.” She claimed Powell initiated the yelling and pushed her repeatedly.
