In re K.O. CA2/2
In this juvenile dependency appeal, S.A. (mother) challenges the juvenile court’s jurisdictional findings, removal order, and limitation of her educational rights as to her 14-year-old twin children. Relying on our Supreme Court’s decision in In re I.C. (2018) 4 Cal.5th 869 (I.C.), mother claims her children are truth-incompetent. She argues, therefore, the juvenile court erred in making its jurisdictional findings because the court relied “almost solely” on her children’s statements of physical abuse without considering whether those statements demonstrated special indicia of reliability. Because we disagree with mother’s characterization of her children as truth-incompetent, her I.C. argument fails. Moreover, her children’s statements are supported by other evidence in the record. Thus, we affirm the court’s jurisdictional findings.
