In re J.B.
The juvenile court dismissed a dependency petition alleging sexual abuse of the minor child J.B. by her father, respondent David B. (Father). After a trial on the merits, the court ruled that the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) did not meet its burden of proof. The court found that J.B.s mother, appellant Maria S. (Mother), had coerced the childs testimony.
DCFS did not appeal from the dismissal of the petition. Instead, Mother challenges the courts ruling. The purported appeal must be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because Mother has no standing to pursue it.
