In re C.V.

The Court of Appeal reversed the juvenile court's jurisdictional finding over the child under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b). The court held that the juvenile court's finding was not supported by substantial evidence where there was no evidence of past police raids, gang retaliation, nor shoot-outs in the home based on father's admitted gang membership and his possession of a firearm. Furthermore, the Department of Children and Family Services did not argue that evidence that one parent is a gang member, without more, can serve as a basis for taking jurisdiction of a child.
