California Court of Appeal

A true finding by the court, that a juvenile was a person who had suffered sexual abuse under Welfare & Institutions Code section 300, is not authorized under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, but was sufficient to invoke emergency jurisdiction under the Act, and a placement order is affirmed.
