Marco B. (father) appeals from the order of March 8, 2013, continuing dependency jurisdiction over J.B. (daughter) and M.B. (son) (collectively, the children), made at a review hearing pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 364.1 He contends substantial evidence does not support the finding continued jurisdiction was necessary.2 We affirm. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND PROCEDURE Daughter, born in 1999, and son, born in 2002, were born to father3 and Y.G. (mother), who lived together.4 Subsequently, parents separated and the children lived with mother. Parents had a history of drug or alcohol abuse, domestic violence, and criminal convictions. The family was the subject of 21 child abuse referrals from 2002 to 2011. Child welfare services, including family maintenance, family reunification, and wrap around services, were provided to the family in 2004, 2005, 2006-2007, 2008, and 2010. In a prior proceeding, the children were dependents of the court from 2006 through 2007, which terminated with an order granting parents joint legal and physical custody of the children and mother primary physical custody. The children lived with mother and visited father on Saturdays. Mother resumed abusing alcohol. On August 30, 2011, a section 300 petition was filed, and the children were detained with mother, after mother was found to be drunk and not properly supervising the children.
