Thank you for the link, Mr. Fax.


I take that as fairly good news. This court hearing is about the safety of the child but nothing about charges against either parent.

This does seem like an Omen.

It could be good news ...

It appears to be some sort of intermediate intervention system designed to establish the severity of any potential threat to the child's well-being. Of course, those are words that mean essentially nothing, really.

My guess is that, if there's evidence of actual abuse that can be attributed to an individual, the LEOs can take over. If there are other sufficient reasons to believe that the child's long-term interests are in jeopardy, child services can step in. In the absence of those concerns, it seems like family counseling might be recommended.

I also don't know how the system is constructed. Is it a single, family-court judge? A panel of "experts"? A target and a box of darts? Who knows?

Termination of parental rights requires a court, yes. Police or Child services can request it.
