The state of Georgia is liable for the drowning of a 2-year-old child at her foster parents' home, lawyers for the girl's natural family told the Georgia Supreme Court Monday. At issue in the case is not just the child's death but whether the state is protected from some claims under an exemption clause of the Georgia Tort Claims Act. It is one of two very similar cases being heard by the high court on the issue of state tort claims.
