Lead Opinion

Simons, J.

A.M., bom in June 1993, and A.R., bom in January 2005, are the children of Jamie W. (Mother). Both were the subject of dependency petitions. James R. is A.R.’s father and lived with Mother at the commencement of these proceedings. 1 Following the jurisdictional hearing, the court found “not true” all the counts relating to A.R. and the sexual abuse allegations relating to A.M. A.R.’s petition was dismissed. The Minors appeal these rulings, which we affirm in the unpublished portion of this opinion. James appeals A.M.’s dispositional order providing her with supervised visitation rights with James’s son, A.R. In the published portion of this opinion, we reverse that order.
