please check my answer thanks :)

If a child is at risk for abuse or neglect the state will use Res ipsa loquitor.

I said yes

Res ipsa loquitur is a legal term that means "the thing speaks for itself." It is used in civil negligence cases where the evidence is so clear that it can be inferred that the defendant's actions were negligent.

However, in the context of child abuse or neglect, the state does not use the legal doctrine of res ipsa loquitur. Instead, child protective services or other government agencies are responsible for investigating and intervening in situations where a child is at risk.

To improve your answer, you could provide more accurate information by stating that the state would typically involve child protective services or relevant agencies to assess and address the risk of abuse or neglect.
