In re Brooklyn L.
Appellant Julio L. (father) appeals from the juvenile court’s jurisdictional and dispositional orders establishing dependency jurisdiction over his daughter Brooklyn (born May 2010) and placing her in foster care. Father contends substantial evidence does not support the juvenile court’s jurisdictional findings under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b)[1], that father hit mother in Brooklyn’s presence or that past instances of domestic violence placed Brooklyn at current substantial risk of harm. Father further contends the juvenile court abused its discretion by not placing Brooklyn in his care or by according him unmonitored visitation. We affirm the juvenile court’s jurisdictional and dispositional orders but remand the matter to the juvenile court with directions to amend count b-2 in the section 300 petition to conform to proof, as set forth in our disposition, infra.
