INTRODUCTION

Mother and appellant Lynette L. appeals from dispositional orders of the juvenile court granting father, Christopher H., sole physical and legal custody of Jasmine H. and L. H. and denying mother reunification services, under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.2.1 Mother contends that the court abused its discretion by giving father sole custody of the children. She also contends there was insufficient evidence to support issuance of protective custody and arrest warrants. We affirm the orders. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Mother has four children: Jasmine H. (13), L. H. (7), Asia G. (15), and Lyric B. (2).2 Christopher H. is Jasmine’s and L.’s father. Glen B. is Lyric’s father.3 Mother had two reported incidents of domestic violence with Glen B. The first occurred on October 17, 2009, when Glen B. pointed a gun at mother and Jasmine. As a result, Jasmine, L., and Asia were declared dependents of the juvenile court in February 2010, and the court ordered “no contact by” Glen B. In April 2011, joint legal custody of the children was granted to mother and the respective fathers, and jurisdiction was terminated. The second incident of domestic violence occurred on May 9, 2013. Glen B. broke into mother’s home with a bat and threatened mother and Jasmine with it. Glen B. grabbed mother by the arms. Mother called Christopher H. for help, and he fought with Glen B. As a result, Christopher H.’s mouth and lower lip area were swollen and red, and Glen B. also had minor injuries. When Jasmine tried to protect mother, Glen B. threatened to hit “her” with the bat. Jasmine was scared of Glen B. L. was also scared, and she cried because she didn’t know what was going to happen.4 Asia was not home
