In re K.A. CA2/5
Defendant and appellant R.A. (Father) is the father of two sons: 12-year-old Kody (Kody), the child who is the subject of this appeal, and his five-year-old half-brother Ryan. The juvenile court sustained allegations that Kody was a child described by Welfare and Institutions Code section 300. The court found (1) Father’s failure to obtain medical care for Ryan demonstrated Kody’s health and safety was in jeopardy; and (2) Father failed to protect Kody when he repeatedly allowed Ryan’s mother to supervise both boys in violation of a juvenile court custody order—which in one instance resulted in Kody being struck in the head by a bicycle helmet the mother threw at him. We consider whether substantial evidence supports the juvenile court’s finding of jurisdiction.
