Description:
Father and mother appeal from a juvenile court judgment taking jurisdiction over their four children, N, C, J, and JA. The juvenile court found the children to be within its jurisdiction because (1) mother had engaged in physical abuse or inappropriate discipline causing a safety threat; (2) while in mother's custody, C suffered a non-accidental or inflicted injury at variance with mother's explanation; and (3) parents had exposed the children to a volatile home environment that created a threat of harm. We view the evidence in the light most favorable to the juvenile court's determination and assess whether the evidence was sufficient to permit its ultimate determination. Dept. of Human Services v. C. P., 281 Or.App. 10, 17, 383 P.3d 390 (2016). While we agree with the juvenile court's reasoning regarding the risk that mother posed to the children, we nevertheless reverse the jurisdictional judgment because we conclude that DHS did not show that father's conduct endangered the children.[1]...
