N.B. (mother) appeals from the juvenile court’s order following a contested 12-month review hearing in the dependency case relating to her five minor children. Mother contends that the Department of Children and Family Services (Department) failed to meet its burden of proving that the two oldest children, referred to here as daughter and son1, would be at risk of substantial detriment if returned to her custody. We conclude that substantial evidence supports the court’s order, which we affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND This is Mother’s third appeal of court orders arising from this dependency case. Mother’s first appeal was from the court’s order following a dispositional hearing on July 16, 2021. We affirmed the court’s findings and orders in an unpublished opinion. (In re M.C. (June 23, 2022, B314143) [nonpub. opn.].) Mother’s second appeal was from the court’s findings and orders made at the six-month review hearing. That appeal was dismissed on January 23, 2023. The present appeal is from the trial court’s findings and orders entered following the 12-month review hearing on September 12, 2022.
