Stamford, CT personal injury attorney Paul Slager talks about when an institution can be held liable for sexual abuse. He notes that, in Connecticut, the legal standards applicable to schools may vary depending on whether the institution is public or private. However, he explains that public schools, private schools, childcare centers, and religious institutions are generally held to a standard of reasonable care. He emphasizes that the key issue is whether those responsible took appropriate steps to identify potential perpetrators, provide adequate supervision, and ensure that children were protected from harm and kept safe.
