There is really no hard and fast definition. I think the courts will look at whether the parent is a danger to the child.

Most of the decisions I selected have now gone to appeal but, you can get a strong opinion and legal idea of just what justices has cited as the courts responsibility toward and determining what the parental rights are and what the parental responsibly are. Do give more attention to the last court decision.
[Here are a few courts decision explaining what is considered a fit and unfit parent.]
