In re Breanna CA2/7
T.J. appeals from the juvenile court’s jurisdiction findings and disposition order declaring her five-year-old daughter, Breanna J., a dependent of the juvenile court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b)(1), and removing Breanna from T.J. T.J. contends substantial evidence did not support the court’s finding Breanna was at substantial risk of serious physical harm within the meaning of subdivision (b)(1) or the court’s removal order. T.J. also contends the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services and the juvenile court failed to comply with the notice and inquiry requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.). We agree with the latter contention, remand to allow the Department and the juvenile court to remedy those failures, and otherwise conditionally affirm the jurisdiction findings and disposition order.
