In re Carol H.
On September 18, 2009, a juvenile wardship petition pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 was filed and, subsequently, the juvenile court sustained a charge that defendant made terrorist threats (Pen. Code, 422).[1] At disposition, the court adjudged defendant a ward and placed her on probation with various conditions, including that she was not to associate with her sister. On appeal, defendant contends that substantial evidence did not support the finding that she violated section 422 and she challenges the probation condition prohibiting her from having any contact with her sister. We conclude that substantial evidence supported the lower courts finding that defendant violated section 422, but we agree that the probation condition barring any contact between the sisters is overly broad. Accordingly, we modify this condition to permit peaceful conduct between the sisters and otherwise affirm the judgment.
