A quick definition of negligent entrustment:

NEGLIGENT ENTRUSTMENT: Negligent entrustment is when someone gives a dangerous thing, like a gun or a car, to someone who they know or should know might use it in a dangerous way.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Negligent entrustment is when someone leaves a dangerous item, such as a gun or car, with a person who they know or should know is likely to use it in a risky way.

Example 1: A father lets his teenage son borrow his car even though he knows his son has a history of reckless driving. The son gets into a car accident and injures someone. The father could be held liable for negligent entrustment.

Example 2: A gun owner lends their firearm to a friend who has a history of violent behavior. The friend uses the gun to commit a crime. The gun owner could be held liable for negligent entrustment.

These examples illustrate how negligent entrustment can occur when someone knowingly or unknowingly gives a dangerous item to someone who is likely to use it in a harmful way. It is important to be aware of the risks associated with lending out dangerous items and to take precautions to prevent harm.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
