0270 Although there is no statutory basis for a public entity to be liable for negligence in placing a child in an adoptive home, the public entity might be vicariously liable for the negligence of its employees in doing so, but since placing a child in an adoptive home involves "basic policy choices," public employees are immune from such liability, and vicarious liability for their acts may not be imposed on the public entity that employs them.CitationRONALD v COUNTY (Adoption) 16 CA4 887 [See: GovC 815, 820, 818.2; Johnson v State 69 C2 782]
