In re A.D.
Welfare & Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (c)[1] authorizes the juvenile court to take jurisdiction of a child who is either suffering or at substantial risk of suffering "serious emotional damage, evidenced by severe anxiety, depression, withdrawal, or untoward aggressive behavior . . . as a result of the conduct of the parent."[2] Peter D. appeals from the jurisdictional orders declaring his daughter, A., and three sons, Peter, James and Joseph, to be dependents of the juvenile court, based on its findings that they suffered or were at risk of suffering serious emotional harm. (§ 300, subd. (c).) Appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the court's findings. We affirm.
