In re S.M
D.S. (father) appeals from a jurisdictional finding declaring his daughter, S.M., a ward of the court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b). Father contends substantial evidence does not support the jurisdictional finding against him, but he does not challenge the jurisdictional finding against mother. We affirm.The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (Department) filed a dependency petition in June 2015 when K.M. (mother) prematurely gave birth to her fourth child after she was shot in the street. Mother tested positive for cocaine upon admission to the hospital. At the time, mother’s children, including S.M., lived with maternal grandmother and wished to remain in her care. The children were nine, five, and two years old. They required constant care and supervision due to mother’s drug use, criminal history, and homelessness.
