Jorgelina E. v. Sup. Ct.
In this case of first impression, court conclude the Legislature incorporated principles of criminal liability in section 300, subdivision (f) and in section 361.5, subdivision (b)(4). Because the trial court applied a civil standard of negligence to the facts of this case and interpreted causation to include attenuated circumstances, court grant the petition and remand the case with directions.
