[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 1720340, member: 1294"] It's the Gov.s call as to whether you're a proper parent or not. It comes down to the "Child's best interest", a legal term with no standard definition,(living law?) only the subjective opinion of those in power. [Although there is no standard definition of "best interests of the child," the term generally refers to the deliberation that courts undertake when deciding what type of services, actions, and orders will best serve a child as well as who is best suited to take care of a child.] [url]http://www.childwelfare.gov/systemwide/laws_policies/statutes/best_interest.cfm[/url] [The first juvenile courts operated under the philosophy of parens patriae first articulated in Prince v. Massachusetts (1944). This philosophy meant the state could act "as a parent," and gave juvenile courts the power to intervene whenever court officials felt intervention was in the best interests of the child. Any offense committed was secondary to the offender. While parens patriae was designed to handle youth committing criminal acts, the discretion of this philosophy became increasingly more broad and was constantly debated in court.] [url]http://criminal.findlaw.com/juvenile-justice/development-of-the-juvenile-justice-system.html[/url] [Prince v.
