Troxel vs. Granville is a supreme court decision from 2000 that reaffirms parents constitutional rights when it comes to the care and conrol of their children. I think my favorite passage from this decision is this one:
"First, the Troxels did not allege, and no court has found, that Granville was an unfit parent. There is a presumption that fit parents act in their children's best interests, Parham v. J. R., 442 U. S. 584, 602; there is normally no reason for the State to inject itself into the private realm of the family to further question fit parents' ability to make the best decisions regarding their children, see, e.g., Reno v. Flores, 507 U. S. 292, 304."
