California Court of Appeal

Juvenile court's decision declaring a minor a dependent of the court after finding the minor was at risk of suffering serious physical harm "as a result of the failure or inability of his or her parent or guardian to adequately supervise or protect the child" under the first jurisdictional prong of Welfare and Institutions Code section 300(b), is affirmed where the parental conduct to which the jurisdictional provision refers does not require parental neglect and substantial evidence supports the finding.
