At first I though, is your son stupid, who toughes exposed wirs, then I read the story. It seems to me he has a case, poor maintenance and a potentially hazardous situation. No one likes to see their kids hurt, especially when it's preventable. Good luck to him on his case.

I hope he wins. It's ridiculous. And the attitude of the foundation is below everything...

Charities have the same obligation as all organizations to abide by health and safety laws. If they had a proper inspection system this would have been picked up and fixed.

They may rent the building and it is then up to the landlord then .
