Zero. If the choices are to leave a child in a bad situation vs. destroying a family for no reason, I would err on leaving a child in a bad situation. Neither option is great, of course, but in the absence of perfection...

Well perfection at predicting the future is impossible. While I don't know what level would be acceptable, your option of never removing a child to safety doesn't seem right either.

Then you cannot, under any circumstances, remove a child from his or her parents.

I mean this in the strictest, most mathematical sense.

Are you sure that's what you want?
