In re G.G. et al., Persons Coming Under the Juvenile C091237 Court Law.

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES (Super. Ct. No. AGENCY, STKJVDP20180000153)

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

L.B.,

Defendant and Appellant.

L.B., mother of the four minors (mother), appeals from orders of the juvenile court terminating her reunification services. (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 366.21, subd. (f), 395.)1 Mother contends the juvenile court erred in finding that the San Joaquin County Human Services Agency (Agency) provided her and the minors with reasonable services tailored to their needs. We will affirm the orders of the juvenile court. BACKGROUND In April 2018, the Agency filed a petition on behalf of G.G. (born 2002), S.G. (born 2006), E.G. (born 2007), and B.M. (born 2010), alleging that the minors came within the provision of section 300, subdivision (b), failure to protect; section 300,

subdivision (c), serious emotional damage; and section 300, subdivision (g), no provision for support. On April 13, 2018, the Agency received a report that the minor B.M. was taken by mother to undergo a sexual assault exam. While residing in a room at a shelter due to homelessness, mother awoke that morning believing someone had entered their room and molested B.M. B.M. did not disclose any sexual abuse but did indicate some pain in her vaginal area and said it was “hard to walk.” Mother told the shelter staff that B.M.’s pajamas were unzipped and her underwear removed. Security camera footage outside of mother’s room did not show anyone else entering or leaving the room. Mother reported her belief that someone previously entered her room through vents and raped her three times. A social worker interviewed B.M., who stated that she woke up without her pajamas and underwear and did not know how the items were removed. The minor did not remember anyone entering the room or inappropriately touching her. She explained that mother had told her she was raped and that mother often spoke about rape. Mother had previously said that S.G and E.G were raped and that people come out of the vents to hurt them. The minor added that mother often spoke about demons and witches and said demons were staring at her. The social worker also interviewed the minor’s siblings, E.G., S.G., and G.G., who did not believe anything had happened to B.M. and expressed concerns about mother’s erratic behavior. S.G. said she tried to tell mother that B.M. unzipped her own pajamas because “it was really hot in the room” and B.M. had not put any underwear on that night after her shower. The social worker interviewed mother, who acknowledged the video footage showed no one going in or out of the room but claimed that the person came through the “ventilation system and vents in the ceiling.” She stated that her prior allegation that E.G was molested was related to her own thoughts of suicide. She denied drug use but admitted she had bouts of depression and that her mother was diagnosed with
