Most-quoted passages
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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Endangering the welfare of a minor in the first degree] protects the child under age 10 from abandonment under circumstances likely to endanger his life or seriously injure him . . . Although the designation of age 10 is arbitrary, it does take into account in a crude sense the likely ability of the child to care for himself and seek the aid of others.”
