That the state once took temporary custody of Joshua does not alter the analysis, Chief Justice Rehnquist wrote, for when it returned him to his fathers custody, it placed him in no worse position than that in which he would have been had it not acted at all; the state does not become the permanent guarantor of an individuals safety by having once offered him shelter.. 48.245.
