California Court of Appeal

In a dispute involving the scope of Welf. & Inst. Code section 300(i), order of the juvenile court removing a seven-year-old child from her mother's custody on the basis that the mother subjected child to an act of cruelty is affirmed where jurisdiction under the direct-infliction prong of section 300(i) does not require a finding that the parent actually intended to harm the child.
