CONCURRING STATEMENT BY BOWES, J.:                   FILED NOVEMBER 13, 2023

      Idisagree with my esteemed colleagues' decision to saddle Parents with

any   burden   of proof in   relation   to   the   finding   of abuse   as   defined   in

§ 6303(b.1)(1).   See Majority Opinion at 22-23.         In all other respects, Ijoin

the decision to reverse the order finding Parents did not abuse S.A.S.

      Judge Stabile joins this Concurring Statement.
