In re Francisco A.
Appellant (father) is the presumed father of Francisco, born in August 2001. Father appeals from the juvenile courts jurisdictional and dispositional orders establishing dependency jurisdiction over Francisco and removing Francisco from his custody. Father contends the evidence was insufficient to support the juvenile courts jurisdictional findings that Francisco was at risk of continuing harm because of sexual abuse by a paternal uncle and domestic violence between his parents. Father further contends the juvenile court failed to consider less drastic alternatives to removing Francisco from his custody, and that the courts visitation order is unclear.
Substantial evidence supports the juvenile courts jurisdictional findings, as well as the courts decision to remove Francisco from fathers custody. The visitation orders are clear, according father twice weekly unmonitored day visits and unmonitored overnight weekend visits after three day visits. Court therefore affirm the orders.
