protect Joshua from his father's abuse? (Choose the
best answer)

and, in fact, utilized those agencies in this case.
The Due Process Clause requires states to provide affirmative protection
to vulnerable individuals, like abused children.
The state had custody of Joshua when he was in the hospital.
