In re T.K. CA1/2
The juvenile court found that appellant’s sons, T.K. and S.K., came within its dependency jurisdiction due to appellant’s sexual abuse of them and domestic violence in his relationship with his girlfriend. The court gave full legal and physical custody of the children to the mother, with whom appellant was engaged in a contested custody battle, denied appellant visitation and dismissed the petition. Appellant contends that the dependency petition should have been dismissed as inadequate at the outset of the proceedings; that the only evidence offered in support of the petition was a DVD recording of an interview with T.K., which was inadmissible and insufficiently reliable to constitute proof that the abuse occurred; that the evidence, if admissible, did not establish sexual abuse; that the trial court erred with respect to a number of evidentiary rulings; that appellant was entitled to enhancement service.
