McGuffin v. State

¶ 1 The court holds today that the terms of 10 O.S.2001 § 7303-5.3(A)(8)(c)1 authorize the imposition of liability upon a parent for harm occasioned by the crime or delinquency of a child not living with that parent at the time of the harm-dealing event. I recede from the court’s pronouncement. I would pronounce that the provisions of § 7303-5.3(A)(8)(c),2 construed together with those of 23 O.S.2001 § 10(A),3 restrict vi*341carious status-based parental tort liability to custodial parents with whom the offending child was living at the time of the injurious event.
