What is the test for a social worker to obtain a warrant to remove a newborn baby from the mother while they are seeking an arrest warrant?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Kirkpatrick v. Cnty. of Washoe, 843 F.3d 784 (9th Cir. 2016):
We may evaluate the risks differently with the benefit of hindsight, but that is not the test. The test is whether well-informed social workers on the scene could reasonably believe that leaving the baby in the mother's control while they sought a warrant would put the baby at some risk of serious bodily injury or death. See Ryburn v. Huff , 565 U.S. 469, 132 S.Ct. 987, 992, 181 L.Ed.2d 966 (2012) (per curiam);
