I'm sure that the parents just signed on the dotted line and didn't take the time to read. I didn't read the medical release I had to sign today at the pediatrician, although I *did* at least read it through the first time. I tend to at least give a once-over to the legal stuff pushed in front of me for the first time, but it never occurred to me there would *be* any wiggle room. It always seemed like, "these are the conditions - take 'em or leave 'em". We didn't have any serious releases to deal with for daycare - just allowing her to go for walks around campus and be transported by ambulance if something happens, but I'll keep my eyes out as she gets older. To be held accountable even if it's *their* fault is utterly ridiculous. How can they get away with that?
