Heading: 1-b Children's Loss of Maternal Care

Text: Much of the foregoing discussion applies with equal force to the claims of the children. [10] A child's interest in parental services is not protected against negligent interference even on the part of third parties. [11] Restatement of the Law, Second, Torts, Tent. Draft No. 14 (1969) § 707A, provides: § 707A. ACTION BY CHILD FOR HARM CAUSED BY TORT AGAINST PARENT ONE WHO BY REASON OF HIS TORTIOUS CONDUCT IS LIABLE TO A PARENT IS NOT LIABLE TO A MINOR CHILD FOR RESULTING LOSS OF PARENTAL SUPPORT AND CARE. We are aware of no authority granting a child a cause of action against a third person for negligent injury to his parent. [12] Nor is there authority to support a cause of action against the parent who negligently injures herself. [13]
