In re Mi.Q. CA4/1
When Mi.Q. (Minor) was just over two months old, he sustained an unexplained fracture of his right arm above the elbow while he was in the exclusive care of his parents. Medical experts unanimously agreed that the injury was inflicted because an infant his age could not cause the injury himself. Three physicians opined that the injury was more likely than not related to physical abuse because they did not believe that the parents had offered a reasonable explanation for accidental trauma to Minor’s arm.
R.Q. (Father) appeals the juvenile court’s order finding true allegations that Minor is a child within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (a), declaring Minor a dependent, and placing him with his parents under a family maintenance case plan.
