I am just a concerned citizen.On yahoo answers about the DCS case someone said.
If you have no standing, you would have to go to court and have the court declare you a friend of the court or provide you official standing before you'd be in a position to insist that officials act.
Then I talked to an attourney who said
Only in VERY rare cases, where a case directly impacts on other people, will a court allow a case to proceed where there is no "actual controversy in law", and where no-one with standing has brought an action.
An example of a case that was never heard because the courts ruled that *no-one* had standing to file it would be the "birther" challenges to Obama's right to be elected President. The cases were all dismissed without being heard on the merits, because in each case the judges ruled that (To quote one of a number of similar rulings) "The potential damages to any one specific citizen from an unqualified individual being elected President are so remote and tenuous that they do not rise to a level sufficient to grant that citizen standing before this court"

So here are my questions.
Can I takeDCS to administrative court for parents allowing their child to be filmed in the nude performing sexual acts?DCS does nothing about this
the attourney said
The potential damages to any one specific citizen from an unqualified individual being elected President are so remote and tenuous that they do not rise to a level sufficient to grant that citizen standing before this court
So does this mean if it is affecting enough people it would be possible?
He also said
Only in VERY rare cases, where a case directly impacts on other people, will a court allow a case to proceed where there is no "actual controversy in law", and where no-one with standing has brought an action.

How do I go about getting this to happen?
