DS Assaulted At School!

[herfrds]

Because he is a minor and he was at school and his parents had no control over him at that time. I know the county attorney. I'm going to ask him if we can take them to court to get our money for the doctor bill.

Finally saw this kid. Talk about an attitude.

Hmmm...here you can sue the kid. The parent either has to pay..or the kid does..
The courts usually give them such amount of time..if they don't pay..they can get a warrant put out for them.
They also make them do community time for restitution ...

redhen DH was told that by the local police. The same ones who dragged their feet forever. So I'm not taking their word for anything.

I'll be honest, police don't know that much about legal proceedings. Especially anything that involves civil lawsuits. It's just not something that they are taught or have to know. Cops know the laws that they regularly enforce. Some know more, some know less.

IF this is as you have said, the kid was there to pick up other kids.. AND it was after school, that rule does not apply. He was not at the school he attends, and was visiting OR on campus for the purpose to provide transportation to other students.
And if it was after school, then it is a personal attack/assault. You need to step this up.
If you can't bill the kid or parents, then go to civil court to recoup your bills. He now has the assault on record, AND you can charge the school district with neglect, and failure to provide immediate medical care for your son, and failure to follow proper procedures in contacting you, contacting the police. And you can name them as co-defendants in the suite so you can have your bills paid.

Just a thought

WOW! This is why my parents have me homeschooled! If I was in highschool, I wouldn't have a chance! I hope he will be okay. Being knocked out for 15 minutes is really bad!

Carol it happened on school property. Turns out the teacher was out of the classroom and was outside BS'ing with the chief of police when this happened. It was also the end of the day. Teacher has been written up; the best the super could do in the way of disipline.
Like I said I am going to talk to our county attorney.

 

[herfrds]

Talked to the county attorney. He said we should call the probation officer. He was surprised there was no order for restitution for the eye doctors bill.

Glad to see you are persuing this. Too many kids getting away with bad behavior with no consequences.

 

[redhen]

Yep...I hope he has to pay for the bill!
