In re M.W.
Annotate this CaseMother challenged the juvenile court's jurisdictional and dispositional order regarding her two children. The court agreed with Mother's contention that her failure to obtain a protective order following a 2007 domestic violence incident with father did not expose the children to a current risk of harm, and the evidence was insufficient to establish that she knew or should have known of father's criminal history and sex offender status and placed the children at risk of harm by allowing him access to them. Accordingly, the court modified the order to strike the allegations based on mother's failure to protect the children from father. The court affirmed the order in all other respects.
