In re J.G. CA2/5

I. INTRODUCTION

The mother, Dominique L., appeals from the juvenile court’s October 15, 2012 jurisdictional findings and disposition order. The juvenile court found the mother failed to protect the children, J.G., Jr. and Ja. G., from domestic violence. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 300, subd. (b).)
