RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) - A judge has dismissed a negligence lawsuit against the Vermont Department of Children and Families.
The Rutland Superior Court judge reaffirmed that DCF does not have a duty to warn the public of the dangers a ward may pose to the general public. The Brattleboro Reformer reports the lawsuit claimed a ward of the state attacked another child at a Rutland McDonald’s, arguing DCF was negligent in a duty to warn respite workers about the ward’s behavior.
The lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it has been dismissed permanently.
