In re H.T. CA4/2
Defendant and appellant, S.T. (Father), is the biological and presumed father of H.T., a girl born in March 2015, and S.M.T., a boy born in March 2011. Father appeals from the juvenile court’s September 28, 2016 dispositional orders declaring H.T. and S.M.T. dependents of the juvenile court and ordering them removed from his custody.
Father claims insufficient evidence supports the court’s jurisdictional findings that he (1) engaged in domestic violence in the presence of H.T. and S.M.T., placing them at risk, and (2) had an ongoing substance abuse problem which impaired his ability to appropriately care for and supervise the children. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 300, subd. (b)(1).) Father also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the order removing the children from his custody. (§ 361, subd. (c).)
