Yes, in the Supreme Court case "CASTLE ROCK V. GONZALES"(See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Rock_v._Gonzales ). A woman sued the police after she asked for the police to enforce a restraining order against her ex-husband. They wouldn't enforce it, her children got killed. She sued the police and lost.

Also look into the case:

"DeShaney v. Winnebago Count"
