California Court of Appeal

In a juvenile dependency action, juvenile court order is affirmed where: 1) the court's finding that the minor was a dependent child under Welfare and Institutions Code sec. 300 (d) based upon father's sexual abuse and mother's failure to protect was supported by substantial evidence; and 2) the juvenile court reasonably found that both children were at substantial risk of abuse.
