Kaufman v. United States

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• overturning prior case law concluding that the juvenile court had jurisdiction in any case where a child had been placed with a non-parental caregiver
• the court’s speculative belief that the parents might remove the child from grandmother’s care was insufficient to establish a current risk of harm
• “[T]he mere fact that a child is being adequately cared for by a nonparent does not prohibit the court from taking jurisdiction, as long as the totality of the child’s cir- cumstances expose the child to a current risk of serious loss or injury.”
