[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^not to mention that a CPS finding is not a court case, and I doubt (but don't know for sure) that CPS uses '"beyond a reasonable doubt" as the standard of proof.[/quote] No they do not. That was just a simple example since you seem to be having trouble with this. Different kinds of violations have to be proven to different standards. So in a civil case it's usually a preponderance of the evidence. In a criminal case it's beyond a reasonable doubt. The child protection scenario is sort of quasicriminal. So it's kind of in between. On the one hand we don't want to take custody of children away without really solid proof. On the other hand if you had to prove an actual criminal violation before you remove the child from custody, you would end up leaving a lot of kids in abusive situations. It's very hard. And very complicated. Which is why I would never prejudge the facts before they all came out.[/quote]
