In re M.R. CA2/8
Father appeals the juvenile court’s jurisdictional findings and dispositional order removing his then-eight-year-old daughter and then-three-year-old son from his custody and placing the children in foster care. Father argues that he posed no present threat of harm to the children, and that his drug abuse and domestic violence were too remote in time to support jurisdiction. Father contends the court erred in not placing the children with his suggested non-relative extended family member for placement. Father filed a separate appeal from an order issued at the six-month review hearing, arguing that the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) unjustifiably failed to evaluate his proposed caretaker for the children. We consolidated the two appeals and now affirm the juvenile court’s orders.
