INTRODUCTION
Elizabeth T. made a mistake. She had too many beers and injured her leg when she fell on a bus while she was taking her three children to see their father. One thing led to another, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services became involved, and the juvenile court ultimately sustained a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b), and placed the family under the supervision of a social worker pursuant to section 360, subdivision (b). Elizabeth T. appeals from the juvenile court’s jurisdiction findings and disposition orders. She argues one incident of alcohol abuse while she was caring for her three children did not support the court’s finding she posed a risk of danger to her children at the time of the jurisdiction hearing. We conclude that the evidence of this incident, along with a four-year-old sustained allegation of substance abuse of which there is no evidence in the record, did not support the court’s finding Elizabeth’s conduct created a substantial risk of serious physical harm or illness. Therefore, we reverse the court’s jurisdiction findings and disposition orders.
