Presumption that child is child in need of services
Sec. 4. A rebuttable presumption is raised that the child is a child
in need of services because of an act or omission of the child's
parent, guardian, or custodian if the state introduces competent
evidence of probative value that:
(1) the child has been injured;
(2) at the time the child was injured, the parent, guardian, or
custodian:
(A) had the care, custody, or control of the child; or
(B) had legal responsibility for the care, custody, or control
of the child; and
(3) the injury would not ordinarily be sustained except for the
act or omission of a parent, guardian, or custodian.
As added by P.L.1-1997, SEC.17.
