INTRODUCTION
Jose P., the father of the minor Samantha P., appeals from the order vesting jurisdiction over Samantha in the juvenile court and the disposition order removing her from his custody. Samantha came to the attention of Orange County Social Services Agency (SSA) when her school reported bruises on her arm. Samantha claimed that Maria B., Jose’s wife or live-in girlfriend, had caused the bruising. Jose did not believe Samantha and proffered several alternative theories for how she acquired the bruises.
