1. ““Negligently reporting to the court and making a recommendation that is not in the child’s best interest, not speaking to the child’s therapist when there are allegations of abuse, or choosing not to bring the therapist’s concerns to the court, could be characterized as negligent and even reckless actions in some instances. The attorney, as guardian ad litem, acts mainly as an arm of the court and performs judicial functions in these situations, however, and enjoys immunity in the performance of those judicial functions, even if he acted negligently.””
