In re Joseph S.
The juvenile court declared the four minor children of appellant Jose S., Sr. to be dependent children on the sole ground that they were at risk of serious emotional harm. (Welf. & Inst. Code,[1] § 300, subd. (c).) They were allowed to remain in the family home and offered family maintenance services. Jose, Sr. appeals the dispositional orders,[2] challenging the jurisdictional findings for three of the minors. He contends that those findings are flawed because (1) Joseph’s petition did not allege the statutory basis on which the juvenile court found jurisdiction, and (2) insufficient evidence supports the finding that Jacqueline and Jasmine were at substantial risk of serious emotional harm. We affirm the orders entered on behalf of Jacqueline and Jasmine, but reverse Joseph’s order and remand for further proceedings on his petition.
