Tiffany Greenfield, as Next Friend and Guardian Ad Litem for Ethan Ford, a Minor, Plaintiff Below, Appellant v. Dfs…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed dismissal of the guardian’s claims against DFS employees arising from child-abuse investigations. It held that the challenged investigative decisions were discretionary under the Delaware State Tort Claims Act and that the complaint did not plead particularized facts supporting gross negligence. The court also rejected the federal state-created-danger claim because the alleged facts did not establish a due-process violation.
