"A child may be protected, not only if he is actually suffering harm as a

result of a lack of reasonable parental care, but also if it is likely that he will do so

in the future. But how is a court to be satisfied that it is likely that this particular

child - the child concerned - will suffer significant harm in the future?" (Hale LJ, Re J (Children) (Care Proceedings: Threshold criteria) [2013] UKSC 9, [4])
