V.B. (mother), in propria persona, seeks extraordinary writ relief from the juvenile court’s orders issued at a contested 12-month review hearing (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.21, subd. (f)(1))1 terminating her reunification services and setting a section 366.26 hearing as to her now six-year-old daughter A.C., four-year-old daughter K.C., and three- year-old son C.C., Jr. Mother contends the juvenile court erred in finding she was provided reasonable anger management services. We deny the petition. PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL SUMMARY In November 2014, the Fresno County Department of Social Services (department) received a report that mother and Christopher C., the father (father) of then four-year-old A.C., three-year-old K.C., and two-year-old C.C., Jr., were using drugs and did not have stable housing. The emergency response social worker found all three children in diapers and noted that they had very limited verbal skills. They also appeared to have been neglected. The department took the children into protective custody and placed them with relatives. Not long after, the department returned the children to mother’s custody and offered both parents voluntary family maintenance services which they accepted. They also agreed there would be no domestic violence in front of the children. However, approximately a month later, in December 2014, father pushed mother and head-butted her in the forehead in the presence of the children, leaving a “goose egg shaped” bump on her head. Mother said he also hit her in the face but it did not cause any bruising. The department took the children into protective custody and placed them in foster care. The department also filed a dependency petition on their behalf which the juvenile court sustained. In April 2015, the juvenile court ordered the children removed from parental custody and ordered mother and father to participate in reunification services.
