"I think we’re agreeing here."

Not really. We're agreeing upon the end result regarding the child; but, I'm not sure we're agreeing on how we get to that result.

To see if we're agreeing on the path (in addition to the destination) I would ask this:

When you said that "the child should be removed ... until the investigation is done", who should remove the child, and who should do the investigating?

“.. who should remove the child and who should do the investigating”.

IMHO, if a child is burned/starved/beaten with fractures/open cuts/etc... then the police should do the investigating. I see this as a crime, plain and simple. For example, if you (just for an example... I know you wouldn’t) went out, grabbed a neighbor and fractured his skull... the police would investigate. If you raped a woman in the parking lot, the police would investigate. As for who should remove the child? I guess Social Services under the authority/permission of a judge for protection of the child. Social Services has the list of foster homes etc... that can take the child. A judge should be available 24/7 since not all cases like this occur Monday through Friday (9-5). An injured/beaten/starved child should not go back to the same parents who injured them in the first place. IMHO.
