In re E.A. CA3
R.C., mother of the minor, appeals from jurisdictional and dispositional orders of the juvenile court removing the minor from mother’s custody under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (a), (b) and (j). The challenged orders rest on a finding that the minor’s two infant half siblings had suffered physical abuse while in the care of mother and her husband, and that the minor was therefore at substantial risk of suffering serious harm in mother’s care. (§§ 300, 360, 395.) Mother contends there is insufficient evidence to support jurisdiction and removal. She further claims the juvenile court abused its discretion when it awarded father sole legal and physical custody, dismissed the dependency petition as to the minor, and ordered that mother’s visitation with the minor be supervised. Finding merit in mother’s claims, we reverse the juvenile court’s jurisdictional order and remand with directions to dismiss the petition as to the minor.
