MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Devereaux v. Perez, 218 F.3d 1045 (9th Cir. 1999):

The present action, like Baker v. Racansky, 887 F.2d 183 (9th Cir. 1989), "involves the difficult balancing of a family's right to autonomy against the state's interest in protecting minor children from abuse." Id. at 187.
