California Court of Appeal

In a father's appeal of the juvenile court's declaration that four-year old daughter was a dependent child and placement in the custody of her mother, due to allegations of sexual molestation, is affirmed where the juvenile court's decision to receive evidence of the minor's statement--both in the form of words in the caseworker's report and the recording--is supported by substantial evidence and thus properly served as the basis for asserting the jurisdiction of the juvenile court over the minor as a dependent child.
