In re M.B.
Defendant and appellant C.B. (Mother) appeals from the juvenile courts jurisdictional order sustaining a dependency petition pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (a), (b), (e) and (j),[1]and both Mother and defendant and appellant S.A. separately appeal from the disposition order removing the children M.B. and A.H. from Mothers custody and declining to place M.B. with S.A. With modifications to the sustained dependency petition, we affirm. Substantial evidence supported both the juvenile courts jurisdictional findings and disposition order. The juvenile court abused its discretion, however, in amending the petition at the adjudication hearing to conform to proof, as the amendment raised new issues that Mother had no opportunity to defend.
