During Ruiz’s court appearance on Thursday, Judge Mindy Glazer appointed her a public defender and ordered her not to contact her son. Ruiz informed Glazer that the boy was currently in the custody of her mother.
“Your dependency court judge is gonna say you need to make a choice, the drugs or your baby, stop using, get clean, or your child’s gonna be, they’ll find a home for your child that’s in a safe environment, so it’s a decision you need to make and maybe you need to get some drug counseling,” said Glazer to her.
Glazer granted her pre-trial release on an alternate bond of $2,500.
