Brennan argues that the state was obligated to protect
Joshua from his father's abuse because the state had
foreclosed "self-help" remedies and had instituted a
governmental system for reporting, investigating, and
monitoring abuse situations and for protecting children
from such situations. According to Justice Brennan, once
this governmental system was triggered in this case, the
state had a duty to provide adequate protection for the
child and not abdicate its role without compelling
justification.
