Oregon has won a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Tony Green, in the Oregon Attorney General's Office, says the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that police and welfare workers need to get a parent's consent before interviewing a child abuse victim. The high court did not rule on the merits of the case; it only tossed the Appeal's court ruling because the child no longer lives in Oregon. Green says the high court did set the stage to rule on similar cases in the future.
