In re Matthew H. CA2/4
Appellant Alexander J. and N.A. (Mother) have two children, a son, Matthew H., and a daughter, “M.H.” Mother has three other young daughters, “M.A.,” “J.A.” and “G.A.” The juvenile court asserted jurisdiction over Matthew and M.H. under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (a) (serious physical harm), (b) (failure to protect), (d) (sexual abuse), and (j) (abuse of sibling). The jurisdictional findings were based on appellant’s alcohol abuse, multiple instances of domestic violence between appellant and Mother in which appellant physically attacked Mother, and appellant’s sexual abuse of Mother’s daughter, M.A. On appeal, appellant contests the finding that his children are at risk of sexual abuse as the result of his molestation of M.A., and the dispositional requirement that he participate in sexual abuse counseling for perpetrators. Finding no error, we affirm.
