In re Trinity A.
Defendant and appellant J.A. (Father) appeals the juvenile court’s jurisdictional order finding his daughter Trinity A. (Daughter) to be a person described by Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b) (subdivision (b)),[1] which requires, in relevant part, that the child is at substantial risk of suffering “serious physical harm.” We construe Father’s argument on appeal to be that the section 300 petition filed in this case was insufficient to support the court’s finding of jurisdiction because, when the juvenile court amended the petition, the court deleted some instances of the words “serious” and “physical” from the petition.[2] Because Father failed to raise this issue below, we conclude he has forfeited the issue on appeal. In any event, we are not persuaded by his argument. Accordingly, Court Affirm.
