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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[B]efore a child may be removed from the parental home at the dispositional stage, there must be convincing proof and findings that the parents are unfit and demonstrably incapable of providing an appropriate home, and that separation is necessary for the child's welfare or in the interest of public safety. It is crucial that findings indicate to the parties and to this Court, if an appeal is taken, what was decided and how the decision was reached.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. In re R.M. · In Re RM“disclo[sing] that throughout the lives of the two children, the mother ha[d] shown a complete inability to cope with the stress of parenting. Her tendency ha[d] been to react to that stress with abusive and neglectful conduct toward the children.”
