Parents of tattooed teen sue NH school district

[chanel]

The parents of a New Hampshire teenager who was tattooed against his will have sued the school district.

Michael and Tammy Austin are saying Concord School District officials could have prevented what happened to their son.

Their son was a 14-year-old high school freshman in 2010. Police say four people were accused of luring him into a home's basement where they tattooed a lewd image and words on his backside. They pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the incident and served between several days and six months in jail. Three were high school students; they were expelled.

The Concord Monitor reports (NH news, primary 2012 coverage, sports, opinion & photos | Concord Monitor) the suit says the school knew the boy was being bullied and missed classes, but didn't help him. The parents say he has learning disabilities.

An attorney for the school district couldn't be reached to comment.

Under NJ HIB law, schools are now responsible for bullying off school grounds. I'm not sure about NH.

Why a Coffee Spill Injury Was Worth $2.9 Million

Im sick of you fucking stupid right wingers pretending cases dont deserve prosicuting



In fact, Liebeck’s attorney indicated he would have been willing to settle the personal injury case with McDonald’s for $150,000. Shortly before the trial began, a mediator appointed by the judge recommended that McDonald’s settle for $225,000. The company refused. At one point, McDonald’s offered to settle the claim for $800.

These are some of the highlights of what the jury learned during the trial:
•McDonald’s serves its coffee at about 180 degrees. Very few restaurants serve their coffee nearly this hot. It takes about 12 to 15 seconds for coffee served at 180 degrees to produce third-degree burns (the most serious kind).
•McDonald’s internal documents revealed that in the past decade it had received at least 700 reports of coffee burn injuries, including some very serious ones.
•A McDonald’s executive testified that the company had not consulted experts about the problem of coffee burns. He also admitted that McDonald’s had decided not to warn customers about the possibility of severe burn injuries, even though most people would not expect serious burns from spilled coffee.
•An engineer who testified for McDonald’s said that coffee burns were statistically insignificant when compared with the billion cups of coffee McDonald’s sells annually. This added to the jurors’ growing belief that McDonald’s cared little for the people behind the statistics.
•Liebeck suffered third-degree burns on her groin, inner thigh and buttocks. She spent seven days in the hospital and required skin grafts. Her medical bills totaled about $10,000. The photographs of her burns were gruesome.

Is TM on the rag again? You should get that checked out.

Yes honey. They are suing because their child was cruelly abused. The only questions are whether the school "could have prevented it" and whether "preventing abuse outside of school" is their responsibility.

"We believe they had a duty to protect, and they failed in that task," Stephen Duggan, an attorney for the parents, said in an interview this week.

"The end result is he was physically assaulted with this horrendous tattoo. While modern medicine will allow it to be removed to some degree, the emotional scars will live on."

The suit said school officials failed to fulfill a promise to provide chaperones for the boy, who had a history of skipping classes, to make sure he got from one class to the next.

Perhaps the school should have "provided chaperones" when he was hanging out with his "friends" too?

[Truthmatters]

schools are considered guardian ad litem while kids are in school.....if the school said they would provide an escort and failed to do so..then the parents have a cause to sue

You raise a good point. According to the arrest report, it happened at 12:00 on a Monday. He most likely was cutting school.

But that raises another question. Should every special needs kid who has a history of cutting have a personal escort to get him/her to and from class? In my school, that could be about 300 students.

when his fellow students have a history of asualting him

Should they? No way. But, once the school commits to providing one, it damned well better.

Is "asualting" something sexual?

TDM! Why would you expect ANYONE to take you seriously? Do you really not know how incredibly stupid you appear?
