In re S.P. CA2/4
In this dependency case (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 300), appellant A.P. (mother) appeals from the jurisdictional findings and dispositional order as to her son, S.P. She raises two issues: insufficient evidence to support the dispositional order; and inadequate notice under the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq. (ICWA)). Respondent, Los Angeles County Department of Children Services (Department), concedes notice was inadequate, but argues the dispositional order is supported by substantial evidence. We conclude that notice was improper. We remand with directions to comply with ICWA requirements. In all other respects, the jurisdictional findings and dispositional order are affirmed.
