Parents sue Care.com over infant’s death

A Kenosha, Wisconsin couple is suing the popular child care website Care.com for the death of their baby girl. Prosecutors say 3-month-old Rylan Koopmeiners died of blunt force trauma on July 27, 2012, while under the care of Sarah Gumm, a nanny the girl’s parents found on the website. Now, Nathan and Reggan Koopmeiners say Care.com is partially responsible for their daughter’s death. The infant’s parents say they paid for the “Premier Background Check,” the highest level of background check offered by the website, but that the site was negligent in performing the check they paid for. Gumm is charged with first-degree murder in the infant’s death and has pleaded not guilty.

"We are deeply saddened by this event. In following up with our safety team, we’re sorry to report that the family did not avail themselves of the background checking services for this provider and thus the facts as reported are incorrect. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the family," a representative for Care.com told HLN.

Oh wow!
