In re Jerome H. CA2/7
K.B. appeals from the juvenile court’s disposition order removing her three-year-old son, Jerome H., from her care and placing him with his maternal grandmother. K.B. argues the juvenile court failed to make express findings on the record, as required by Welfare and Institutions Code section 361, subdivisions (c) and (d), that there were no reasonable means to protect Jerome other than removing him from K.B.’s custody and that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services made reasonable efforts to prevent the need for his removal. K.B. also contends there is no substantial evidence to support such findings. We conclude that the juvenile court’s failure to comply with section 361 was harmless and that there was substantial evidence the Department exercised reasonable efforts to prevent Jerome’s removal and there were no reasonable alternatives to removal. Therefore, we affirm.
