In re G.B.

by
The Court of Appeal reversed the juvenile court's disposition orders and held that the juvenile court erred in establishing jurisdiction based on a factual and legal theory not raised in the original petition. In this case, the Department filed a dependency petition on G.B.'s behalf, alleging the child had been sexually abused by her mother's boyfriend, and that her mother had failed to protect her from the boyfriend's abuse. The juvenile court found the allegations untrue but, on its own motion, added three allegations against father based on facts and a legal theory not at issue in the original petition.
