Negligence of nursery lead to the death of Molly Cunliffe, a 16-month-old girl.

Parents to sue nursery after baby's death - Guardian


Extract:


"The parents of a 16-month-old girl who choked to death announced plans to sue the owners of her nursery yesterday after an inquest found the child was the victim there of "unlawful killing by gross negligence manslaughter".

While the police, the crown prosecution service and Ofsted have declined to pursue the former staff or owners of Tiddlywinks Nursery, in Gloucester, the parents of Molly Cunliffe said they would initiate civil action on the basis that the accident occurred at the nursery because of serious neglect and mismanagement.

The inquest verdict means the jury considered the negligence involved to be so serious it amounted to homicide.

After yesterday's verdict Gloucestershire police said that they would again consider the possibility of bringing criminal charges."
