Offers of proof may not be based on speculation. (People v. Babbitt (1988) 45 Cal.3d 660, 684.) The social worker reported that the children were bored during visits, that mother missed a December 10, 2019 visit, and that the youngest child did not want to visit mother. At one supervised visit, mother slept for 40 minutes and claimed she was on new medication. Mother agreed to sign a medical release to determine what the medication was, but failed to do so.
