Per Curiam - Juvenile Dependency - No Evidence that Mother Continued to Have Domestically Violent Relationships

The court reverses and remands for an entry of judgment in this juvenile dependency case because DHS failed to prove one of the grounds of jurisdiction (although it proved other bases). Specifically, DHS alleged that the child was endangered because domestic violence in mother's home created a harmful environment. The evidence, however, established that mother's violent relationship had ended long before the dependency hearing and there was no evidence that mother continued to engage in domestically violent relationships.
