In re E.N.
E.N., now eight months old, tested positive for narcotics when he was born. The juvenile court exercised its jurisdiction over E.N., pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b). The court vested custody of E.N. with the Orange County Social Services Agency (SSA), and approved a case plan that, in relevant part, ordered E.N.’s father, S.R. (Father), to complete a substance abuse treatment program, participate in random drug testing, and attend 12-step meetings. Father challenges the disposition order.
We affirm. Given Father’s history of substance abuse, the lack of evidence that he had ever completed a program designed to address that history, and the social worker’s testimony that E.N.’s mother, S.N. (Mother), took drugs with Father while she was pregnant, the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in entering the disposition order.
