California Court of Appeal

Juvenile court's visitation order that visits with petitioners' four youngest children were to be monitored and held in a therapeutic setting is affirmed where: 1) because the father was not authorized to file a notice of appeal on his eldest daughter's behalf, the daughter's appeal is dismissed; and 2) the juvenile court had the power to suspend visits when continuing them would be harmful to a child's emotional well-being and the visitation order was appropriate as there was nothing improper in the court taking a step back to consider the recommendations of a therapist and the desires of the children before attempting to fashion a visitation plan that has a hope of success.
