Description
The adoptive parents of a child abused by her biological father sued the hospital that treated the child. The parents alleged that the hospitals physicians failed to prevent ongoing abuse. The district court granted the hospitals motion to strike three counts in the parents complaint and ruled that the parents could not introduce evidence of the hospitals failure to report suspected child abuse to outside authorities. A jury then determined that the hospital was negligent but that this negligence was not a direct cause of the childs injuries. The parents appealed, arguing that a cause of action exists under the Child Abuse Reporting Act, Minn. Stat. § 626.556, and at common law for failure to report suspected abuse. The court of appeals affirmed the district court. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
