Jennifer Foldi, an Infant by Her Guardian Ad Litem, Herbert M. Korn, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Dorsie G. Jeffries and…

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the doctrine of parent‑child immunity bars recovery for negligent supervision but does not protect a parent who acts willfully or wantonly in supervising a child. Because Mrs. Foldi's conduct was merely negligent, summary judgment in her favor was proper. The Court also clarified the limited scope of the immunity doctrine for future cases.
