Introduction
On this episode of 5-4, Peter, Rhiannon, and Michael are talking about Deschaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services. This is a tragic case about the failure of the state to protect a child from his abusive father. In its ruling, the court found that the state does not have a responsibility to prevent harm against children by private actors.
