Sagot :

Answer: C) Happy Days is liable for negligent hiring.

Explanation:

Happy Days is liable for negligently hiring Tina. As the employer and especially as one working with children, the onus is on them to verify the information given to them by Tina.

Had they verified the information, they would have found out that Tina was not supposed to be taking care of children due to her violent tendencies. They would therefore not hire her and this ugly situation would have been avoided.
