In the Matter of BRANDON G., Miguel G., Saray G., Joshua A., Luis A., and Jennifer N., Children Under the Age of Eighteen Years Alleged to be Abused/Neglected by v. Carmela A. and Navil G., Respondents.
Here, the Court is finding that Miguel and Saray are derivatively abused by their mother, Navil G., and that Joshua, Luis, and Jennifer are derivatively abused by their mother, Carmela A. At the time of the filing of the petition a little over a year ago, they ranged in age from 1 1/2 years to 7. Even though these children were all older than Brandon, this Court's finding that both respondents are responsible for the injuries sustained by that child indicates a problem with their respective parental judgment and impulse control that places these children at similar risk of harm.
