In re A.A. CA1/1
Defendant A.A. (Father) is the father of two minor children who are the subjects of the underlying dependency petition. The San Mateo County Human Services Agency (Agency) filed the proceeding after his six-year-old daughter (Daughter) reported he had hit her with a belt, causing bruises on her calf and thigh. Father appeals from the jurisdictional finding, claiming no substantial evidence supports the findings of serious physical abuse and abuse of a sibling under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (a). He also challenges the dispositional order removing the children from his physical custody, claiming the finding of “substantial danger to the physical health, safety, protection, or physical or emotional well-being” is also not supported by substantial evidence. Father further claims the court abused its discretion in terminating the dependency proceeding and placing the minors with their mother (Mother). We affirm.
