When home feels shaky: rows, hospitals, new babies and big changes, sentence 16

Sometimes a court decides that a child should not see a parent for a while, to keep the child safe; it is never the child's fault.

Who acts: court, child · What happens: decide, not see, keep, not be · To what, where: parent, child, fault · Speech: someone speaks here
