Mobaldi v. Regents of University of California

In Mobaldi v. Regents of University of California (1976) 55 Cal.App.3d 573, a foster mother watched physicians administer a solution into the foster child's veins while the foster mother was holding the child in her arms. The solution was to have contained 5 percent glucose but instead contained 50 percent. The child became spastic, convulsant and finally comatose. The foster mother screamed, but by that time the child had received 150 cc's of the solution and suffered severe physical injury as a result. ( Id., at p. 578.)
