In re William R. CA2/4

INTRODUCTION

Y.B.L. (mother) and W.R. (father) have one child together, William R. (born August 2020). The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) filed a dependency petition on behalf of William, which was sustained by the juvenile court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (b)(1) and (j).1 Mother appeals certain jurisdictional findings and dispositional orders made by the juvenile court. Because mother does not challenge the jurisdictional finding as to count b-1, we decline to exercise our discretion to review the remaining jurisdictional findings. We further conclude that the challenged dispositional orders are supported by substantial evidence. Accordingly, we affirm the orders below.
