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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) [t]he parent is unwilling or unable to protect the child from jeopardy and these circumstances are unlikely to change within a time which is reasonably calculated to meet the child’s needs; (ii) [t]he parent has been unwilling or unable. to take responsibility for the child within a time which is reasonably calculated to meet the child’s needs; (iii) [t]he child has been abandoned; or (iv) [t]he parent has failed to make a good faith effort to rehabilitate and reunify with the child pursuant to section 4041.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[a]lthough a finding of parental unfitness and a finding of best interests of the child[ren] are two separate elements, the court may consider the findings of parental unfitness as relevant to best interests. For example, the parent's inability to protect the child[ren] from jeopardy is relevant to the child[ren]'s best interests.”
