In re A.P.
Appellants A.P. and C.H. (the children) were named in a juvenile dependency petition alleging that their older sister, M.H., was sexually molested by the father of M.H. and C.H. (father).[1] At a jurisdictional hearing, all parties with the exception of the children, i.e., the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS), father, the childrens mother (mother), and M.H., purportedly agreed that the petition would be dismissed and the social worker would instead undertake a program of supervision. (Welf. & Inst. Code,[2] 301.) The juvenile court approved the arrangement on the record, after which it directed the deputy county counsel to prepare an appropriate agreement for the parties signature, and an order for the courts signature. Neither the order nor the agreement appears in the record, and presumably were never documented.
