2nd Grader Injured in "Shark Tag" Mishap: Negligent Supervision Claim Proceeds

A New York state judge is allowing a negligent supervision claim to proceed, but has dismissed the claim that a school gymnasium in Nassau County was "dangerously defective," reports the New York Law Journal. 

A second-grader was cut near the eye and suffered a broken wrist when playing "shark tag" in the gym. Although decorative molding jutted out from the school gym walls, the judge ruled that the school district was not obligated to provide protective padding. However, according to the New York Law Journal, the judge stated that it was appropriate for a jury to decide whether the class of 25 students was adequately supervised.
