A: The group home may be liable for the death of your grandson if there is evidence that the missing prental appointment(s) were a cause of the death. A review of the records of the group home, and medical records would be necessary to determine if there is a case.

A: When a disabled fostered child with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) does not have providers following the agreed-upon IEP plan, liability can potentially arise depending on the specific circumstances and applicable laws. The responsibility for ensuring that the IEP is followed typically falls on the school district or educational institution responsible for implementing the plan. If there has been a failure to adhere to the IEP, resulting in harm or negative outcomes for the child, legal action may be considered. It is important to consult with a legal professional specializing in special education law to assess the situation and determine the potential liability of the involved parties and the available legal recourse.
