San Diego County Health & Human Services Agency v. S. S.
Opinion
Lead Opinion
McDonald, J.
S. S. appeals the juvenile court’s order at the six-month review hearing that continued its jurisdiction of his minor daughter, N. S. He contends the court did not make factual findings that returning N. S. to his *170 custody would cause substantial risk of detriment to her and therefore it erred by continuing its jurisdiction. Because we conclude there was no evidence to support continued juvenile court jurisdiction, we reverse the order.
Factual and Procedural Background
The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (the Agency) removed N. S. from her parents’ care in November 2000 and filed a Welfare and Institutions Code 1 section 300 petition on her behalf, alleging she was at risk of harm after her cousin was injured while in S. S.’s care. In March 2001 the court made a true finding on the section 300 petition, removed N. S. from her parents’ custody, placed her with her mother, G. S., ordered S. S. not to reside in the home, and ordered reunification services. 2 At the September 2001 six-month review hearing, the court allowed S. S. to return home without supervision, but continued its jurisdiction of N. S.
