In re Taylor J

In In re Taylor J. (2014) 223 Cal.App.4th 1446, the court ordered the agency to refer the mother for low cost or no cost counseling. (Id. at p. 1448.) The agency provided two lists of counseling agencies, one of which identified one agency near the mother's home that provided domestic violence services; the other listed no counseling agencies near her home. Neither listed agencies that provided adult counseling. (Ibid.) Furthermore, when the mother complained that she lacked the money to pay for parenting classes or counseling, the social worker seemed to refute that claim in her report. (Id. at p. 1449.) Other than noting these facts in the report, however, the social worker did nothing to help the parent with her problem. (Id. at p. 1452.) Finally, the agency in Taylor J provided the parent with no services whatsoever for the six months between the 12 and 18-month reviews. (Id. at p. 1453.)
