Oscar H., In re (2022) B318634 B318634; filed 10/27/22. ![[Files/CaseFiles/B318634.PDF]] [Opinion PDF](https://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/archive/B318634.PDF) ## Rule excerpts Majority opinion; 2022 inquiry requirements. The Department had not asked for family information; this was not a case in which a parent withheld requested information. > The Department also argues the father’s drug and mental health struggles made it “inappropriate” to inquire. This is incorrect. The inquiry duty is mandatory. The Department offers no logic or law to explain why a parent’s drug use or mental health issues would nullify this duty. — Oscar H., In re (2022) B318634, slip op., p. 6.
