The mother then threatened the father with a knife when he took the child from her arms. There was other family violence. The juvenile court assumed jurisdiction over the boy and placed him with his father. The mother challenges only her case plan. She says it is too onerous. We affirm. Statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code. I A girl called 911 at 3:20 in the morning one September day in 2020. The girl said her stepmother—Mother—threatened her father with a knife after he found Mother shaking the child. The child was 23 months old. The girl is the child’s half sister. Father recounted the incident. The child awoke crying. He and Mother gave their son a bottle and tried to soothe him, but the child kept crying. Mother grabbed the child by the shoulders and began shaking him. She shook him for about 10 seconds while screaming for him to stop crying and go back to sleep. Father pulled the child away. Mother scratched Father’s back, went to the kitchen, and returned with a knife. She told Father she would stab him if he did not give back the child. Father convinced Mother to surrender the knife. He put the child in the living room. The boy vomited three times. Police arrested Mother. The child went to a hospital. A doctor reported no signs of trauma and testing revealed no findings of concern.
