In Re Children of Johnathan R.

Summary

The court affirmed the order finding that the father had placed his children in circumstances of jeopardy. It held that the trial court’s findings concerning the father’s substance misuse, untreated mental-health issues, aggressive conduct, and the children’s resulting fear and distress were sufficient to establish by a preponderance of the evidence a likely threat of serious harm if the children were returned to his care. The court also applied the rule that, absent a motion for further findings, necessary findings consistent with the evidence are implied.
