In re A.J. CA4/2
L.J., III (father) and E.D. (mother) have four sons together. In 2016, L.J., IV (L.J.), then aged five, had a bruise across his eyes and forehead, which he called to the attention of a school staff member. L.J. gave inconsistent accounts of what had caused the bruise, but he did tell the staff member and two other concerned adults that the father caused it. There was further evidence that the father had intentionally burned L.J. with a cigarette, leaving a scar, and that he regularly disciplined the children by hitting them with a belt.
