A Kenosha, Wisconsin, couple is suing the popular child care website Care.com for the death of their baby girl.

Prosecutors say 3-month-old Rylan Koopmeiners died of blunt force trauma on July 27, 2012, while under the care of Sarah Gumm, a nanny the girl’s parents found onCare.com. Now, Nathan and Reggan Koopmeiners claim the website is partially responsible for their daughter’s death.

According to the suit, Gumm, 33, repeatedly left the 3-month-old unattended while she allegedly took a taxi to a local pharmacy and purchased wine. The lawsuit goes on to allege that Gumm was under the influence of alcohol while providing nanny services and “negligently struck and/or slammed Rylan on her head causing a head injury” and ultimately, death.

The infant’s parents say that they paid for the “Premier Background Check” on Gumm, the highest level of background check offered by Care.com, but that the site was negligent in performing the check.

If the quote below from the linked story is true, then it appears the parents have a strong case. What a shame a 3 month old baby lost his life because of this.

The wrongful death lawsuit claims a law enforcement investigation revealed that Gumm had a history of alcohol abuse and violence, including two DUI citations in 2010, a criminal felony matter in 2012 and a 2004 battery incident. Despite this, the Koopmeinerses say the site presented Gumm’s background as “suitable for providing child care and nanny services.”

On a side note Marvin, please include a warning for any links that lead to a picture of Nancy Grace, I just lost breakfast.

I agree. The vetting process should have been more thorough. Hopefully, justice is served.

My apologies. I'll work on MY vetting process as well.
