Mother Arrested for Leaving Her Child in a Park

By

Well intentioned people are often the victims of bad situations. We have laws in place in this state that are designed to punish the guilty, protect the innocent, and assure the public that our system of justice is both truthful and balanced. But for the accused, the scales of justice often appear out of whack and totally one sided, especially if they thought they were doing the right thing.

Seemingly Minor Decisions Can Have Unexpected Consequences

On July 1, 2014 a North Augusta mother decided to let her 9-year-old daughter spend a day at a neighborhood park, unattended, while she worked her daily shift at a nearby fast food chain. The mother decided that since the weather had been so nice, it was better for the young girl to spend the day playing outside instead of cooped up in a burger joint or stuck indoors at home for over 7 to 8 hours. As you can imagine, the mother could not afford to pay for any day care for her child while she was at work and apparently did not have anyone available to watch the little girl during the day.

The mother, doing what she thought was best and with few other options available, decided to let her child hang out at the park for the day. The child apparently had a cell phone on her in case of emergency and enough pocket change to be able to get something to eat when she got hungry. This arrangement worked out fine for the first couple of days, as the mother would return to the park after work and collect her child without incident. But on the third day, a concerned citizen who had seen the girl playing in the park earlier in the day finally approached her, asked where her mother was, and consequently called the authorities once the truth came to light.

Aftermath

The mother was called away from work and arrived at the station. Apparently not realizing the gravity of the situation, she confessed to leaving her child in the park on more than one occasion. Subsequently she was taken into custody by the North Augusta Public Safety Department and booked on a charge of unlawful conduct toward a child. This law falls under South Carolina Children’s Code, Chapter 5, Article 1. This is a felony crime and convictions can carry substantial fines and jail sentences of up to 10 years per count.

Currently the mother is still in jail and her case has been presented before the 2nd judicial circuit solicitor’s office for processing and eventual adjudication. The little girl has been turned over to the Department of Social Services pending the outcome of her mother’s case and subsequent investigation.

As a result, a family has been put into turmoil and its future is hanging in the balance, all because of a single decision that was made during a difficult time and with the very best of intentions.

Recent New Hampshire cases on mechanics liens limits subcontractors remedies.

By

Recent New Hampshire cases on mechanics liens limits subcontractors remedies.  Two recent cases have substantially narrowed a subcontractor’s ability to recover from a property owner for the labor and materials they provide on  a construction project.
 
In the past, subcontractors who were unable to obtain payment from a general contractor or obtain a mechanics lien have usually asserted some non-contractual or quasi- contractual theories of relief such as unjust enrichment or quantum meruit to recover from a property owner.  Two recent cases have substantially narrowed a subcontractor’s ability to recover from a property owner  for the labor and materials they provide on a construction project under these theories.
 
In Axenics v. Turner Construction Co., the New Hampshire Supreme Court basically adopted a rule that a subcontractor cannot recover against a property owner upon some implied promise to pay arising from the owner’s receipt and acceptance of the benefit and labor furnished.  The court did leave the door open for special circumstances which would justify the requiring the owner to pay, such as when the owner accepts benefits rendered under such circumstances as reasonably notify the owner that the one performing such services expect the owner to compensate the subcontractor.
 
In Mangiardi Brothers Trucking, Inc. V. Dewey Enviromental, LLC, the Federal District court of New Hampshire limited what “special circumstances” meet the Axenics’ test.  In Mangiardi, a third tier subcontractor agreed to remove hazardous waste from a job site in exchange for a second tier subcontractors promise to pay for the removal.  The second tier subcontractor failed to pay for the removal services and the third tier subcontactor sued a number of defendants, including the property owners.  The defendants relied on the Axenics’ ruling and Mangiardi argued special circumstances existed because (1) it believed the subcontractor was going out of business and contemplating bankruptcy and (2) the property owner may not have paid the general contractor in full for the removal of the hazardous waste.  The court found these situations did not meet the definition of “special circumstances” because the third tier subcontractor did not allege any circumstances that would reasonably notify the property owner that it expected the property owner to pay its invoices if the other contractors did not. The court went on to find that neither  another contractors potential bankruptcy nor the possibility that a property owner has not paid another contractor justify a claim against the property owner under quasi-contract theories. 
 
These cases make it even more important to use your statutory rights under the mechanics lien statute to protect your rights. 
 
McGrath Law Firm, PA attorneys often handle such matters successfully. You can meet with one of our experienced attorneys at McGrath Law Firm and obtain an evaluation as how these decisions may affect your rights to recover for the labor and materials you provided on a construction project.
