Re: unsafe work place
As your daughter was not raped she does not have a cause of action against them for failing to provide a safe working environment. Such cases are notoriously difficult to win, and also, convenience store owners are notoriously difficult to even find to sue - unless it is a corporate chain of them.
However she should have a decent claim for unemployment benefits. She had a bona fide reason for quitting and while they may oppose it, she should get her benefits - provided she otherwise qualifies. Good luck.
