Jerrod, age 11, has been picked up by the police while wandering downtown at 2:00 am. His parents are drunk, as usual, and the police discover they are unaware of his absence. Jerrod is generally bedraggled and unkempt. When he shows up at school, which is not often, he is inattentive and disruptive. On physical examination, there is evidence of active tuberculosis, a highly infectious disease.

What criteria should apply to this case in considering whether Jerrod is a "child in need of protection" or an "at-risk family member"?

Bearing in mind the principles underlying child protection legislation, what would you put in the child protection order?

Assuming Jerrod cannot, in his best interests, be returned to his parents, what happens?
