In re Lorissa R. CA2/7
Eugene R. and Bria S., parents of now six-year-old Lorissa R. and five-year-old Alexandria R., appeal separately from the juvenile court’s jurisdiction findings and disposition order declaring Lorissa and Alexandria dependent children of the juvenile court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300. Bria does not contest jurisdiction, but she argues substantial evidence did not support the order removing the children from her custody. Eugene contests every basis of jurisdiction, as well as the orders removing the children from him and implementing a case plan that required monitored visitation, individual counseling, and domestic violence education. Bria and Eugene also contend the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services did not comply with the inquiry and notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) (ICWA) and related California law.
