In re P.S. CA2/7
Prince S., Sr., the father of four-year-old E.S. and three-year-old P.S., appeals from the juvenile court’s jurisdiction findings and disposition orders under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300 involving the conduct of Tamara M., the mother of E.S. and P.S. The juvenile court sustained allegations that Tamara “inappropriately physically disciplined” E.S. by hitting her with a shoe and a wooden spoon, abused marijuana, and left the children with a caretaker who in turn left the children with a teenager who was smoking marijuana. Although the petition did not name Prince—he lived in Nevada and had little contact with the children—the court nevertheless ordered him to attend parenting classes and submit to random drug testing. Because substantial evidence supported the court’s jurisdiction findings, and the disposition orders were not an abuse of discretion, we affirm.
