• “Courts have consistently authorized state intervention when parents object to only minimally intrusive treatment which poses little or no risk to a child’s health.”
• ‘‘[T]he State has the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that intervening in the parent-child relationship is necessary to ensure the safety or health of the child, or to protect the public at large.”
• “Clearly, the State can intervene in the parent-child relationship where the health and safety of the child and the public at large are in jeopardy,” and the State “has a special duty to protect its youngest and most helpless citizens.”
