In re Timothy M. CA2/2
Carla A. (mother) appeals from the juvenile court’s order exerting dependency jurisdiction over her 15-year-old son, Timothy M. She argues that the juvenile court’s finding that she placed Timothy at substantial risk of serious bodily injury by allowing him to live with his drug-using father and by offering to have him move in with her despite her own drug use is not supported by substantial evidence. We decline to reach the merits of mother’s challenge because a finding in mother’s favor would not deprive the juvenile court of jurisdiction over Timothy (due to the unappealed findings involving father) and because mother articulates no further effect of letting stand the juvenile court’s findings beyond asserting that the “findings could be prejudicial to [m]other if she happened to be involved in future child dependency or family law proceedings.” Mother’s challenge fails on the merits as well. For these reasons, we affirm.
