Sexual Abuse Common in Foster Care, Adoption | The Adoption Diaries, by Nicole Dorsey-Straff:
After reading a horrid news story about an 11-year-old Philadelphia girl who was repeatedly raped by an older foster brother, I began scouring records and state governmental agencies to glean stats on sexual abuse in foster homes across the country.

Foster Parents; Changing definitions child abuse.
"Preponderance of evidence". Part 1 of 3.
In this series, we are examining several different definitions emerging within the foster parents community. It is our responsibility to keep our finger on the pulse of our nation, keeping CPS under a microscope, unfortunately, is required for the survival of parenting in general.
Why is this relevant to you? Because the better prepared you are, as a parent, the better your response to these situations. We are not attorneys, just advocates who believe in educating you on how to protect yourself and your families. We stand with you in defense of parenting across the United States.
Now that said, let us continue. Today we explore the implications of “preponderance of evidence”.
Our first stop is one of our favorite sources defines Preponderance of the evidence,
evidence meeting this standard [plaintiffs must show by a preponderance of the evidence that defendant's negligence proximately caused the injuries] compare clear and convincing, reasonable doubt. Link findlaw.com
Let us go see what Wikipedia say’s.
The burden of proof (Latin: onus probandi) is the obligation to shift the accepted conclusion away from an oppositional opinion to one's own position.
The burden of proof is often associated with the Latin maxim semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit, the best translation of which seems to be: "the necessity of proof always lies with the person who lays charges.”
Okay, now we have the meaning that our redirected website gives us. Do you agree with this?
Let us give you a little more information on how this definition compares to others you are more familiar with, before we draw a conclusion.
We find other phrases like
Probable cause is a relatively low standard of evidence, which is used in the United States to determine whether a search, or an arrest, is warranted.
As in the criminal context, the U.S. Supreme Court in United States v. Sokolow, 490 U.S. 1 (1989), determined that probable cause requires "a fair probability that contraband or evidence of a crime will be found"
Some credible evidence One of the least reliable standards of proof, this assessment is often used in administrative law, and often in Child Protective Services (CPS) proceedings in some states. It is a lower standard of proof than the "Preponderance of the Evidence" standard.
