California Court of Appeal

Orders declaring missing child a dependent child of the court, denying mother family reunification services, identifying long-term foster care as permanent plan, and ordering permanent placement services for the child if he is ever found, are reversed as the juvenile court lacks jurisdiction to make custody determinations regarding the missing child.
