25 Jul 2015 Kindergarten Staff Refused to Give Anti-asthmatic Spray to Student due to Fear of Legal Obligation


The mother of a kindergarten student has requested the school staff to apply anti-asthmatic spray for her son at any possible asthma onsets during classes or school activities. However, the kindergarten emphasized that they do not wish to bear any legal liabilities and refused to do so. Emergency service was called every time the child went into an asthma onset. Discussions were initiated and some agreed that kindergarten staff may not be qualified to carry out injection or spray since they are not professional medical personnel.
