In re Chris S. CA2/4
Defendant Y.S. (Mother) appeals jurisdictional and disposition findings as to her four children Chris, Michael, Nathan, and Jacob. Mother contends there is insufficient evidence to support the juvenile court’s findings that she failed to protect the children from substantial risk of harm due to father’s ongoing abuse of Mother and the parents’ minimization of the violence that occurred in the presence of the children.
Codefendant C.P. (Father) challenges the dispositional order removing Jacob (born Sept. 2018) from his custody based on domestic violence and alleged substance abuse, contending the court failed to consider the alternative of removing father from the family home, as required under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361, subdivision (c). We conclude that substantial evidence supports the jurisdictional and dispositional findings, reject the parents’ additional contentions, and affirm the orders as to all four children.
