Daycare Provider Facing Civil Action For Child's Death

A woman is facing criminal and civil charges for the death of a little girl. The defendant allegedly ran a home daycare where the 2-year-old child lost her life. After investigating the toddler's death, police gathered enough evidence to charge 37-year-old T.K. for operating a daycare facility without a license and endangering the life of a child. The young girl was discovered floating face-down in T.K.'s pool last August.

The mother of the victim has since filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the daycare provider. She is asking for $50,000 in punitive damages from T.K. and her husband, M.K. The criminal case against the woman is ongoing. If she is convicted of the charges against her, she is likely to spend up to 10 years behind bars in a federal prison. When you lose a loved one in an accident, you should consider taking civil action.
