Question presented
Does a parent who in a state court dependency proceeding submitted to jurisdiction on a staff prepared jurisdictional report and did not submit on a dispositional report ‘impliedly’ waive the right to sue for loss of Familial Association when her child is killed by a drunk driving father who the Juvenile Court had placed the child with and at a time when the social workers had been told and confirmed the father was driving under the influence with the child in his car?
