1Opinion of the Court
RONALD R. HOLLIGER, Judge.
O.L. and her parents appeal a judgment summarily granted under Rule 74.01 disposing of their claim against O.L.’s paternal grandmother for failure to protect O.L., a minor, from sexual abuse by the paternal grandfather while the grandchild was being cared for by her grandparents. Finding that the grandmother met her burden of negating an essential element of the claim against her, we find that the entry of summary judgment below was appropriate. For reasons more fully articulated below, we affirm the decision of the trial court.
