“Phillips filed a Petition for Child Support & Damages on October 27, 1997, seeking child support for her minor grandson, who was conceived while her daughter was incarcerated in the Iberia Parish Jail. Phillips named as defendants, Errol Romero, the former Iberia Parish Sheriff, Sidney Hebert, the present sheriff, and the Iberia Parish Council, the governing body of the parish. She alleged that the parish employees in charge of the Iberia Parish Jail routinely encouraged and allowed inmates to engage in unprotected sexual intercourse in order to manipulate and control them, and for their own entertainment, and that Romero and the Iberia Parish Council either knew or should have known of this conduct, and negligently failed to correct it. Since she could not support her grandchild, Phillips sought support for the child until he reaches eighteen years of age. The Iberia Parish Council answered denying liability. The Sheriffs filed a motion to dismiss based on Phillips’ failure to request service of the petition within ninety days of filing her lawsuit as required by La.R.S. 13:5107(D), and peremptory exceptions of no right of action, no cause of action, and prescription. Following a hearing, the trial court granted the exception of no cause of action, and dismissed Phillips’ suit with prejudice.”
