In re Ariel D. CA2/2
Curtis D. (Father) appeals the Los Angeles Superior Court dependency court orders sustaining the Welfare and Institutions Code section 300 petition brought by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and ordering his daughter Ariel D. (Child) removed from Father’s custody. Father contends that, both when sustaining the petition and when removing the Child from his custody, the dependency court improperly relied upon a “bunk bed” injury incident that is not in the record and, for that reason, the judgment must be reversed. He also contends Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) (ICWA) notices were sent to the wrong tribes. Because we find that substantial evidence supports the court’s August 10, 2016 orders and ICWA’s placement requirements were met, we affirm the August 10, 2016 orders.
