The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Cases like this do not present a bipolar struggle between the parents and the State over who has final authority to determine what is in a child's best interests. There is at a minimum a third individual, whose interests are implicated in every case to which the statute appliesthe child." [ Fitzpatrick v. Youngs, 186 Misc.2d 344, 349 , 717 N.Y.S.2d 503 (2000), quoting Troxel, supra at 86 , 120 S.Ct. 2054 (Stevens, J., dissenting).]”
