“Under the law, when you take custody of children for these purposes, you have an affirmative legal duty to provide for their safety and protection.  We expect to prove that the defendant company failed to meet its legal obligations in this circumstance.  As a result, a young girl suffered significant harm.”  Timothy O’Keefe, Kenny, O’Keefe & Usseglio, P.C., Hartford, CT

“This is an incredibly sad situation involving a very vulnerable young girl.  The defendant took complete advantage of her and should be held accountable for his actions.”  Timothy O’Keefe, Kenny, O’Keefe & Usseglio, P.C., Hartford, CT
