In re A.S. CA2/1
P.N. (Mother) challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the juvenile court’s jurisdictional findings that she failed to protect her daughter, A.S. (born February 2011), and her son, C.S. (born December 2012), from their father, L.S. (the father). Mother acknowledges that because the father has not appealed from the findings made against him, the outcome of her appeal will have no impact on the court’s exercise of jurisdiction over the children. Nonetheless, and although the juvenile court has since terminated dependency jurisdiction and awarded custody of the children to Mother (events which arguably could have rendered her appeal moot), Mother urges us to exercise our discretion and consider her appeal.
