Opinion
O’ROURKE, J.
Deborah M. (Mother) appeals the judgment terminating her parental rights over Amber, Samuel, and Destiny M. She contends the court abused its discretion by denying her modification petition (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 388)1 and by terminating her parental rights without receiving information about Amber’s and Samuel’s wishes (§ 366.26, subd. (h)), deprived her of her constitutional right to call Amber as a witness, and erred by failing to find the children would benefit from a continued relationship with her (§ 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(A)). We agree with the last contention.
