In re G.B.
The Probation Officer filed a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 601, subdivision (b) (all further statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code unless otherwise indicated) seeking to have G.B. (minor) declared a ward of the court as a truant. The juvenile court sustained the petition after admitting, over minor’s objection, school district records documenting his numerous absences and the district’s unsuccessful efforts to resolve the problem. The court then issued a dispositional order, placing the minor in his mother’s custody under the probation officer’s supervision with conditions requiring him to enroll in and attend school.
On appeal, the minor argues the admission of his school records violated his right of confrontation and they were inadmissible as business records because the custodian of records’ affidavit accompanying the records failed to describe the mode of preparation. Further, acknowledging his probation has terminated, minor claims the issues raised are not moot. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment.
