Text: ¶ 13. With this background in mind, we return to the three groups of claims in plaintiff's complaint. As the superior court held, Sorge controls the first group of claims involving the allegations that SRS is liable for the 1980 sexual assault on plaintiff because it placed the perpetratorN.C., a child in its custody in the home of plaintiff's grandparents and failed to control him while he was there. Unlike the situation in Sorge, there is no allegation here that SRS knew that N.C. was dangerous or presented a known risk of sexually assaulting a young child. Thus, SRS had no duty to plaintiff to avoid placing N.C. in the grandparents' home or to control him while he was there.
