I don't know Florida Law - but if my
knowledge of UK law would say that
if harm is a reasonably foreseeable consequence of an action, and it is
reasonable to take steps to prevent it, then a failure to do so is
culpable negligence. We know the harm, we could do something, but we don't.
UK and US law split over 200 years ago. There are significant
differences. Read through Barrett v. Rosenthal.
As I said, legal concerns should not here be paramount. The civil law
only exists to punish those who are not doing the Right Thing, and
compensate those who are their victims. So the paramount question is not
legality, it is are we doing the Right Thing? Is this responsible?
