Ford Bond, a twenty-two month old child, was left unsupervised during mealtime at Lambuth Memorial Preschool when he began to choke on a peach. He soon lost consciousness, suffered severe brain damage, and died a few days later. Despite clear evidence that the day care ignored important safety rules, it refused to accept financial responsibility for the death. The jury awarded $1.5 million to his mother. This verdict shows the importance of day care safety and the devastating loss that can result when a day care chooses to ignore generally accepted and state mandated safety rules.
