Description: The DeShaney Case: Child Abuse, Family Rights, and the Dilemma of State Intervention By Lynne Curry HIGHLIGHTING FROM PREVIOUS OWNER “For Joshua!” Limited Justice Harry Blackmun. “Victim of repeated attacks by an irresponsible, bullying, obviously cowardly, and intemperate father, and abandoned by respondents who placed him in a dangerous predicament and who knew or learned what was going on, and yet did essentially nothing... " Even so, the Supreme Court, by a 6-to-3 margin, absolved Wisconsin officials of any negligence in a case that had left a young child profoundly damage for the rest of his life. Does the Constitution protect children from violent parents? That was the central issue when Melody DeShaney initially sued Wisconsin for failing to protect her battered son. The resulting case was a highly emotional one pitting the family against the state and challenging our views on domestic relations, child abuse, and the responsibilities – and limits – of State action regarding the private lives of citizens.
