L.B.,

Defendant and Appellant.

L.B. (Mother) appeals from the juvenile court’s order summarily denying her petition to change the court’s order terminating her visitation and reunification services. (Welf. & Inst. Code,1 § 388.)2 We affirm.

1 Further unspecified statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY In January 2018, Ventura County Human Services Agency (the Agency) received a referral alleging that Mother refused to comply with recommended medical treatment for her daughter, G.B., who had cancer. At a contested dispositional hearing, the juvenile court declared G.B. a dependent of the court. Mother received 12 months of reunification services. During that time, Mother “minimally participated” in her case plan and exhibited behavioral issues. Before the 12-month hearing, Mother “engaged in inappropriate conversation” with G.B.’s then-foster parents, and the court issued a restraining order protecting the foster parents from Mother. In February 2019,3 Mother yelled at a caseworker and grabbed her hand during a visit. Mother also pulled a backpack off the caseworker’s shoulder and pulled the lanyard hanging around her neck. The court suspended Mother’s visits and issued a restraining order protecting the caseworker from Mother. In May, the juvenile court terminated Mother’s reunification services and visitation. Mother petitioned for a writ of mandate, challenging the order terminating her reunification
