What is the current state of the law on child protection?

First, framing the issue in this way overlooks another well-established formulation of the standard, one which is quoted earlier in the Opinion: "Serious allegations of abuse that have been investigated and corroborated usually give rise to a reasonable inference of imminent danger sufficient to justify taking children into temporary custody...." Rogers , 487 F.3d at 1294 (emphasis added) (quoting Ram v. Rubin , 118 F.3d 1306, 1311 (9th Cir. 1997) ). In most cases, a serious allegation of abuse may be synonymous with a risk of physical injury. Yet I do not interpret the majority to suggest that allegations of sexual exploitation or child pornography are not "serious."
