Section 300, subdivision (c), applies where “[t]he child is suffering serious emotional damage, or is at substantial risk of suffering serious emotional damage, evidenced by severe anxiety, depression, withdrawal, or untoward aggressive behavior toward self or others, as a result of the conduct of the parent . . . or who has no parent . . . capable of providing appropriate care.” “The statute thus sanctions intervention by the dependency system in two situations: (1)

Applying this test, the court in Covalt found that the PUC possessed the authority to regulate matters relating to electromagnetic fields around power lines; the PUC had exercised its authority to adopt policies reflecting its finding that it lacked sufficient information to decide whether the fields were dangerous; and a civil action would interfere with and hinder the ongoing regulatory efforts of the PUC.
