In re Bruno M. CA2/3
Pedro M. (father) appeals from the juvenile court’s jurisdictional findings and dispositional orders declaring his children dependents of the court and detaining them from his custody. Among other orders, the court issued a permanent restraining order that restricted father from contact with Evelyn S. (mother) and the two minor children. Father’s sole contention on appeal is that the portion of the order protecting the children was not supported by substantial evidence because the children were “never in the line of fire” when he beat mother. We conclude the children were indeed at risk of physical harm and, in any event, father’s lengthy history of domestic violence against mother and the parents’ frequent reconciliations justify the minors’ inclusion in the restraining order. We therefore affirm.
