In re Ivan M. CA2/7
The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (Department) and 11-month-old Ivan M. appeal the order dismissing the Department’s petition to declare Ivan a dependent child of the juvenile court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (b) and (j). The Department and Ivan contend the evidence presented at the jurisdiction hearing compelled a finding that Ivan was subject to dependency jurisdiction based on his mother’s unresolved history of substance abuse. We reverse and remand for the court to conduct a disposition hearing based on Ivan and his mother’s current circumstances.
