Subject: chose your babysitter carefully!
Obviously, this case is more complicated than that, but we have a case of clear negligence. I doubt the family is hiring this fellow as a babysitter any longer. Can you imagine the potential for such a simple question and concept "can I pickup little Bobby from the daycare; I'd like to take him to my family picnic", turning into a liability situation for the family of the child? Questions for the jury:
Mr K, did you tell your babysitter to talk on his cell phone while driving?
Mr K, did you tell him to run thru a stop sign?
Mr K, was the babysitter being paid?
Mr K, did you ever conceive you could be held liable for having a babysitter pickup your child from daycare if he does something dangerous on the way home?
Just kind of boggles the mind.
