Restraining order properly issued against father where there was a finding he severely sexually abused child.

Family ct. has jurisdiction to renew a domestic violence restraining order initially granted by juvenile ct.

Children properly included in three-year RO issued against father under W&IC §213.5 where his DV against mother with children present disturbed children's peace; physical violence against children unnecessary to sustain order.

Once the juvenile ct. terminates jurisdiction, the family ct. assumes jurisdiction over restraining orders issued in the juvenile ct. and may renew them.
