Law enforcement officers, judicial officials, social workers, and similar generally maintain qualified immunity from liability in the course of their work. This case for example in which judges and social workers allegedly failed to properly assess a mother's fitness for child custody despite repeated indicators suggesting otherwise. The child was ultimately placed in the mother's care, and later was killed in an execution style (not due to negligence).
This case happened in the county I reside in and my sister-in-law is an attorney for the county in CP, although this was not her case directly. I can tell you what led to this: The COVID lockdowns! They stopped doing all the usual home visits and follow ups because everyone was too scared to do their jobs.
This case was a horrifying failure of the entire system that up until that point had fairly decent results for children who end up having to be taken away from their parents and later returned once the Mom/Dad clean up their act.
Not applicable - As a society we’ve countless times chosen to favour the right of the mother to keep children above the rights of other humans. Most children are killed in the home of the mother (i.e. either by the mother, or where partner choice would have avoided that, while the father was available), or even worde in the Anders Breivik situation (father available with stable job and perspectives in life, but custody refused, child grew up a mass murderer as always).
