What liabilities do I or may I not foresee at this time.

Re: child molester in a Day Care

The facility MUST immediately seek and get good legal help in this before doing or saying anything. If you don't know the laws that apply for your business, do NOT rely upon anonymous advice for a problem that could have enormous legal consequences and risks. No one on this board will or should give you specific advice, and generalities are of no value to you. Immediately contact business acquaintances and/or the local Lawyer Referral Service for names. If you can't find a local attorney, feel free to contact me; such issues have been a speciality of mine for over 20 years.
