FAYETTEVILLE -- A foster mother can't be sued for the drowning deathof a child in her care, a judge ruled Friday.
Foster Mother Can't Be Sued In Drowning Death, Judge Rules
http://www.nwaonline.net/articles/20...7fzdrowned.txt FAYETTEVILLE -- A foster mother can't be sued for the drowning death of a child in her care, a judge ruled Friday. Johnnie David Wood, 8, drowned Aug. 13, 2005, in Beaver Lake. Wood was in the custody of Ozark Guidance Center and in the care of a foster parent, Jennifer King, at the time. The boy's parents sued Ozark Guidance, King and their insurance companies. Washington County Circuit Judge Mary Ann Gunn dismissed King from the case and dismissed some of the claims against Ozark Guidance based on a state law that gives foster parents and organizations they work for immunity from being sued unless their actions are intentional -- that is, malicious, willful or wanton, or they rise to a level of gross negligence. Gunn said there were no facts alleged that would rise to gross negligence. The suit did not allege intentional acts. King now is out of the suit entirely but there are still some issues remaining, including negligent supervision claims against Ozark Guidance and questions involving insurance coverage and liability. According to the suit, when the child drowned, King was watching him for another Ozark Guidance foster parent. King had gone to her car at the time and left Wood and several other children ages 2 to 17 on the beach. Ozark Guidance contracts with the state to provide foster care for children in Washington and Benton counties. CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA WIRETAPPING PROGRAM.... CPS Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of Child Protective Services. every parent should read this .pdf from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS *Perpetrators of Maltreatment* Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13 Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12 Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
