The following excerpt is from Kings Cnty. Human Servs. Agency v. Southern (In re Joseph J.), F069170 (Cal. App. 2014):
Father also characterizes the termination of his parental rights as unconstitutional. He claims, without any explanation or support, that he has suffered cruel and unusual punishment and his due process and equal protection rights have been violated. The bare mention of such constitutional claims on appeal do not merit a reviewing court's consideration. (People v. Wharton (1991) 53 Cal.3d 522, 563.)
