In Connecticut, children are taken from their parents for "Predictive Neglect"; see:
http://www.cga.ct.gov/2012/rpt/2012-R-0103.htm
The courts have ruled that predictive neglect exists when a child is in danger of being harmed in the future, even if no harm has presently occurred. The Connecticut Appellate Court has stated that Connecticut's statutes “clearly and explicitly recognize the state's authority to act before harm occurs to protect children whose health and welfare may be adversely affected and not just children whose welfare has been affected. The [person filing the neglect petition] need not show, but simply allege, that there is a potential for harm to occur” (In re Michael D., 58 Conn. App. 119, 123-24 (2000)). Courts also have ruled that under the doctrine, a child can be considered neglected without ever having been under the custody of a parent (In re Jermaine S., 86 Conn. App. 819, 829 (2005)).
In New Hampshire, children are taken from their parent's for "Neglect in the Future".

Neglect - Citation: Rev. Stat. § 169-C:3
'Neglected child' means a child:
'Neglected child' means a child:
- Who is without proper parental care or control, subsistence, education as required by law, or other care or control necessary for his or her physical, mental, or emotional health, when it is established that his or her health has suffered or is very likely to suffer serious impairment, and the deprivation is not due primarily to the lack of financial means of the parents, guardian, or custodian
Even the Court's go along with this witch hunt. Anything to make money right?
It's time for our State Legislator's to put a stop to this nonsense. No-one can predict the future. Especially NOT DCYF. The only prediction they ever make that comes true, is when they tell you you'll never get your children back, because they already know there is a bias against ALL families in Family Court!
