In re B.D.
Two brothers, B.D., who was six years old, and C.D., who was three years old, were detained from their mother after she was arrested for possession and use of methamphetamines, which she admitted, and they were released to the care of their non-offending, noncustodial father. Mother did not contest dependency jurisdiction over the children or their placement with father. On appeal, father does not contest the jurisdictional findings but contends the trial court abused its discretion at disposition by not terminating jurisdiction, presumably with a family law order awarding him legal and physical custody, and by ordering that he submit to three random drug tests. We find the trial court did not abuse its discretion but, instead, followed the law in placing the children with their noncustodial parent under the supervision of the Department of Children and Family Services until the court could determine whether continued supervision was necessary; thus, we affirm the disposition orders.
