In re Joseph B.
Angelo B. and Jamie M., the parents of Joseph B., appeal the juvenile court's jurisdiction and disposition order under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b).[1] Jamie and Joseph became homeless after they left Angelo following a fight between Jamie and Angelo. Joseph was detained in protective custody after Jamie checked herself in to a mental health facility reporting that she had thoughts of harming Joseph. The court determined removal was necessary and it would be detrimental to place Joseph with either parent based upon evidence of mental health issues, substance abuse, and domestic violence. Angelo challenges the jurisdictional finding that he had been unable to protect and supervise Joseph and further challenges the dispositional finding in which the court declined to place Joseph with Angelo. Jamie contends there is no substantial evidence to support the court's finding that it would be detrimental to return Joseph to her care, claiming her mental health has stabilized. We affirm the judgment.
