The context is taking their children away from their parents under the pretext that the parents are unfit to raise them. Can we agree that "a professional association of physicians made a recommendation which the parents violated" does not constitute "unfit parent"? SIDS is also increased in babies who sleep in a separate room; presumably we're not condoning robbing everyone who has a nursery of their children.

Can we agree that "a professional association of physicians made a recommendation which the parents violated" does not constitute "unfit parent"? Being aware of a parent disregarding widely disseminated recommendations of the medical community on a death risk is certainly reason for a third party to be concerned about fitness. It may not equate to unfitness, which corresponds well to the lack of any CPS action when the report was investigated. The threshold for reasonsble reporting to a investigative authority should not be certainty of a violation. (Now, I would expect a babysitter to attempt to resolve this with the parents first.)
