Case Update: Perry v S.N. and S.N.

For those of you teaching the Prosser, Wade, and Schwartz casebook:  This is about the time of year I cover Perry v. S.N. and S.N., a Supreme Court of Texas case from 1998.  The case focuses on negligence per se/implied right of action regarding a failure to report the alleged child sexual abuse committed by day care owners.  Those day care owners, Fran and Dan Keller, were declared "actually innocent" by the state of Texas in August 2017 and awarded $3.4 million in damages.  This isn't breaking news, but I just learned it (thanks to Shannon Smith in my 1L Torts class), and I thought some of you might not know either.  The article from Jezebel is here.
