My business has suffered a data breach following a successful phishing scam which one of our employees reacted to and so enabled the hacker to gain access and obtain client and business data.

The child is very sick and may not have much time left with the biological mother suddenly making an appearance to try and claim the remainder of the settlement money. Surely my friend is entitled to the money having taken care of the child all her life? What is the position in law?
