In re D.B.
Annotate this CaseThe Court of Appeal affirmed the juvenile court's jurisdictional findings over daughter and termination of the case with a juvenile custody order. The court held that substantial evidence supported the juvenile court's findings. In this case, the confluence of five factors supported the juvenile court's finding of a risk of serious emotional damage to daughter: violence, systematic verbal abuse, racism, impulsivity, and lack of insight. The court concluded that this combination created substantial evidence that daughter suffered severe anxiety, which in turn was evidence of a substantial risk daughter would suffer serious emotional damage. Finally, the court held that the juvenile court did not err by terminating jurisdiction and that the juvenile court's order did not unreasonably restrict the family court's power to modify custody or visitation.
