District of Columbia Court of Appeals September 18, 1997, 95-CV-142 (Clark v. District of Columbia)

STEADMAN, Associate Judge:

This ease arises from the suicide of appellant Frankie Clark’s fourteen-year-old son K.F. that occurred while K.F. was in the custody of the appellee District of Columbia at the Receiving Home for Children (“Receiving Home”). Following a two-week jury trial, the trial court granted the District’s motion for directed verdict on appellant’s negligence claim.
