California Court of Appeal

The juvenile court's judgment finding jurisdiction over Mother and Father's daughter Roxanne under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300(c) is affirmed, where: 1) the jurisdictional finding was supported by substantial evidence that Roxanne was suffering from serious emotional damage and at risk of suffering further serious emotional damage at the time of the jurisdictional hearing; and 2) through their failure to obtain mental health services for Roxanne, Mother and Father caused Roxanne to continue to suffer and be at risk of suffering such emotional damage.
