The best interest of the child, with the assumption that taking away a child is a horrible, traumatic event that should be avoided if at all possible.  It's hard to come up with hard and fast rules, but that's the basic principle.  

You don't want to solve a problem like dumb parents refusing to give them kids an MMR vaccine by creating a bigger problem like putting a kid in a foster home.  The same goes for a fat kid or kid who smokes cigarettes.  But, if parents refuse to feed their kids or abuse them, it's a no brainer.
