FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY Mother and A.M. (Father) are the parents of two young children, D.M. and G.M.2 On February 25, 2015, the San Luis Obispo Department of Social Services (DSS) detained D.M. and G.M. from the care of Mother and Father due to their failure to provide for the children or to adequately supervise them. Each child has significant development delays and behavior problems. Mother was homeless and Father was incarcerated for violating a domestic violence protective order. Mother also has a criminal history of domestic violence convictions. Since 2012, DSS had provided pre- intervention services to the parents without success. On February 25, 2015, DSS filed a dependency petition on behalf of the two children. DSS alleged that they were at significant risk of physical or emotional harm due to Mother's and Father's failure to supervise them, provide for them, or access treatment programs for their special needs. (§ 300, subd (b).) On February 26, 2015, the juvenile court held a detention hearing. It found a prima facie case regarding the dependency petition, placed the children in the temporary care and custody of DSS, and set the matter for a jurisdiction and disposition hearing. On March 25, 2015, the juvenile court held a jurisdiction and disposition hearing. The court received evidence of DSS written reports and took judicial notice of the dependency file. Following submission by the parties, the juvenile court sustained the allegations of the dependency petition and ordered DSS to provide family reunification services to Mother and Father. Mother's family reunification services plan required her to participate in mental health assessment and parent education, provide safe and appropriate supervision of her children during visits, and demonstrate an ability to meet the children's needs, among other things.
