"The Elimination of Parental Immunity Case"
Should children be allowed to sue if their parents’ failure to supervise them led to harm? Plaintiff—a two-and-a-half year old boy—nearly drowned in a pool and suffers severe brain damage. The defendant—his mother—had left him by the pool unattended for 5 to 10 minutes in order to answer a phone call.
