Raquel C. (mother), in propria persona, seeks an extraordinary writ pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 8.452 from the juvenile court’s orders issued at a contested six-month review hearing (Welf. & Inst.

(§ 300, subds. (b)(1) & (j).) The petition identified Anthony M. (father) as the children’s alleged father.

The juvenile court ordered the children detained and offered mother random drug testing and
