In re K.P.
Defendants and appellants M.P. (mother) and A.P., Sr., (father) each contend the evidence was insufficient to support the jurisdictional finding of the juvenile court that their minor son, Jo., was at substantial risk of being sexually abused as provided in Welfare and Institutions Code[1] section 300, subdivision (j) based on the undisputed finding that father repeatedly, over the course of years, sexually molested Jo.'s older sister, K.
Father separately contends there was insufficient evidence to support the allegation in Jo.'s section 300 petition that father "dabbled in child pornography." Finally, mother alone contends the record is devoid of clear and convincing evidence to support the removal of K., T., C. and Jo. from her custody under section 361, subdivision (c)(4).
As we explain, we conclude there is substantial evidence in the record to support the true finding under section 300, subdivision (j) that Jo. was at substantial risk of being sexually abused. We also conclude there is sufficient evidence in the record to support the finding that father "dabbled in child pornography." Finally, we conclude there is clear and convincing evidence in the record to support the findings and order based thereon removing K., T., C. and Jo. from mother's custody under section 361, subdivision (c)(4).
