In re Desiree M., No. D055670

Juvenile court's judgment terminating a mother's parental rights over her two children is affirmed as: 1) the mother lacked standing to raise notice and inquiry issues; 2) the mother forfeited any right to raise the notice and inquiry issues; and 3) although the court should have inquired into the children's absence from a continued hearing, they were provided sufficient notice, and any error was harmless.
