In re K.R. CA2/4
In November 2020, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) filed a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (b)(1) and (j) (section 300(b)(1) and section 300(j)) on behalf of five-month-old K.R., alleging he was at risk due to the unresolved substance abuse problems of both appellant-Mother Reyna S. and appellant-father Jamie R. In April 2021, the juvenile court sustained the petition and removed K.R. from both parents. On appeal, they contend the court erred in finding jurisdiction and removing K.R. from their custody because substantial evidence did not support a finding they had substance abuse problems, or that any such problems placed K.R. at risk. They also contend the court erred by failing to place K.R. with Mother in her inpatient drug treatment program.
We conclude substantial evidence supports the court’s jurisdictional findings, and the decision to remove K.R. from both parents.
