In re Nicholas E. CA2/2
The juvenile court exerted dependency jurisdiction over the four children of Susan S. (mother) and Brian E. (father) after finding that mother had repeatedly engaged in conduct that emotionally and physically traumatized the children. However, because the court’s orders removing the children from mother, awarding father sole legal and physical custody of the children, and restricting mother’s visits with the children to a therapeutic setting with a professional intermediary eliminated mother’s opportunities to further traumatize the children as well as the need for further dependency court supervision, the juvenile court terminated dependency jurisdiction with an “exit order” that would become part of the still-pending family court case between mother and father. In this appeal, mother attacks the juvenile court’s order terminating jurisdiction.
