At first glance it appears there was no violation of any law that would allow the court to terminate the parents rights. This is convenient because it relieved the State of any obligation to help people it somehow believed to be gernerally troubled and in trouble, allowed them to wash their hands of any obligation to help the parents by villifing them, and in order to bring about the judges' personal preference terminated their parental rights.
In fact, the only conclusion one can draw from the opinion of the the appellate court is the Government lacked any violation of the law that justified the terminiation of the parents rights and had to invent one.
The appellate court found - by a preponderance of evidence (thats how weak the evidence seems to be) - there was no "Domestic Violence" within the meaning of the statute and thus reinvented the meaning of "domestic violence" using a suspect psychological theory; because I'm an expert and I say so (junk science) engrafted onto a completely seperate statute.
