Definition of Chutzpah

is the plaintiff in this case. He's a mentally impaired convicted child molester, given lifetime probation. He was placed in a group home, where the provider was supposed to give him 24/7 supervision. An employee drove him to an event and, instead of staying with him dropped him off. He promptly molested another child, and was sentenced to 8 years' imprisonment.

So he sued the provider for, essentially, allowing him to molest a child, with the damages being that he got caught and sentenced to 8 years! (Not to mention pain and suffering and anxiety from the enforced stay).

He didn't get very far in court. Perhaps the attorneys that took that one on a contingency should have a check up from the neck up, too.

Maybe the molested child's parents could sue the provider for lack of supervision? If it was my kid he wouldn't be looking at 8 years. He'd be shaking satan's hand.
