Can I sue the parents of a minor who attacked my daughter at school in Nevada?

This is America... you can sue anyone for practically anything. The question you should ask is "Should I sue them?" Will it do any good to keep this from happening again? Are you just looking for a payday? Why get lawyers involoved if there's a chance you can resolve the situation without them?

It sounds as though the school and the church are behaving very irresponsible,indeed..How come the school issue a letter of support to the biters parents,when you get a judgment for medical expenses? Surely this a type of admission by the biters parents.How can this be if, as the school says,it did not happen. As regards to the school sending this letter of support,which included personal and confidential information about your family,they are in breach of the, DATA PROTECTION ACT.For them to forward this information is not allowed,and the church of all places should have condemned such a letter,not condoned it.I would have thought that the school would have to log the incident in their injury/accident book,this is normal practice.Did the bite mark break the skin on your daughter.If it did then surely it then becomes a criminal act of assault.If and when proved,what will the school and church have to say about it then.They would have to expel the biter.When proved that it happened on the school premises,you can then contact the principal,the school-board,the local papers,as many people as you can notify.Whilst your daughter is at the school,they are responsible for her well being.

I have to be honest, if you see this girl pull her aside and tell her if she lands another finger or if you see her talking to your daughter you will take matters into your own hands. If she tells anybody else you threatened her.deny it..your the adult, then most likely the parents will start looking into it. I am serious! It works.

How old is the girl for one thing.\nCan an innocent incident be interpreted as an out right attack?\nDoes the girl have issues and looking for attention?\nThere have been times kids falsely accuse someone just for the attention or to keep them from trouble.\n\nBut the guy could be arrested...and if the accusations turn out to be false....the accuser and her parents could be sued in a civil court for monetary damges.\n\nIt seems pedophilia is the new witch hunt.....point a finger at someone and they are burned at the stake.

I'm a literacy teacher and school couseler in Bay Area. My mother was a Social worker in L.A County for twenty five years she specializd in child abuse and incest.  She was the court omnibus person/child avocate for the court. They will also likely do an assesment on the father. If you could get the backing of any of the other molested children it would help.

First off, I hope this turns out okay for your daughter and family. I would do a couple things.  I would change all of the phone numbers to be unlisted and put the phone feature on the phones that traces calls.  If he calls and you don't want him doing it then you could press the *?? and  the phone co. trace the calls.  At least that would be proof from the phone company of all the calls.  Second, go to the police and press charges of stalking, harassment or whatever they will be willing to do and also file a restraining order against him and possible his older brother because he is driving.  If he breaks the RO then he could be arrested.  If all else fails, then go find a lawyer, prosecutor or victim advocate that might help your daughter out.\n\nI do have a question for you and maybe its something that you haven't thought about, but why hasn't someone done something about a 14 year old not being in school?  Even though he was kicked out, isn't he supposed to go to an alternative school or somewhere else?  That might be a starting point too.

It does sound as though they are jealous...what you need is medical evidence that what is happening at school is affecting your daughter, like a letter form the doctor about bruises after hitting and kicking, or a letter about her being upset and in a state of "Mental Anguish". then go to a solicitor/lawyer and sue the Educational Authority for neglecting the needs of your daughter and not taking care of her properly, not providing a place of safety.\nMy friend did this and miraculously within a few days of her going to the solicitor, the bullies were expelled from the school and the authorities were made to pay compensation by the court.

Well first thing I'd do is make sure the kid that pushed you stops messing with you. I would start by letting one of your parents know about the problem or you could go to the Principle of your school since it happened at the bus stop.  Which ever you decide I think the guy who caused the problem should have to pay the price not you. If nothing else works I'd open a can of whup-ass on the fool who pushed you. You might still have to pay for the torn pants but the guy might not mess with you after that.

First of all, what difference does it make whether the boy is black, white or yellow?\n\nSecond of all, most of the schools in our county do not allow cell phones to be taken to school.  Your mother should give the phone to your sister only when she is going someplace where a regular telephone service isn't available and cell phones are permitted to be used at all times.  Cell phones are very costly.  When she is at home the land line is free to use and wouldn't cost your parents or your sister to use them.  In my opinion a cell phone is only necessary for children in an emergency or for their own protection when they are away from a land line.  Your sister obviously does not respect your parents or their wishes.  She needs to learn to respect not only people but the possessions that she owns.  Especially when they were purchased by others.  If your school does allow cell phones to be brought to the school, I'm sure they have specifically stated in the school rules that they are not responsible in any way if the cell phone is lost or stolen and that that responsibility is held solely by the student who brought it onto their premises.  The school will probably not do anything to help your cause except make an attempt to check their lost and found.\n\nThird of all, it sounds like the boys did not steal the phone but instead found it.  The only way that you can actually accuse someone of stealing is if you have proof of that or a witness to the theft while it's taking place.  If you had any kind of proof at all then you wouldn't be wasting time calling them back and forth trying to use voice indenification and friends calling to try to see whose voice is answering the phone.  You would also have already went to the school yourself or to your parents with the proof that you have and the name of the criminal so that they could call the police and charge them immediately.  Accusing someone without proof is a crime in itself --  Defamation of Character.  The person that you are accusing without proof can legally sue your family for defamation of character, so unless you plan on having your parents pay for that bad choice as well I would watch what you say to other people.  The fact that you have put it on the internet for all to see if a start to the proof that these boys need to get their case going.  The person that is in the wrong was your sister for not taking care of for cell phone and for accusing people of a criminal act on hearsay and suspicion only.  If anyone should be punished at all it should be your sister, for disobeying your parents and not taking care of her own things.  Your sister needs to learn how to take instructions from her parents seriously.  By bragging about having the phone and giving the number out when she was specially asked not to by your parents she has basically slapped your parents in the face.  If I were your parents the phone would most definitely be taken away from her permanently (once it is found) and the cost of the phone, cancelling the cell phone service (if you have a plan on it) and the cost of any telephone call charges that come in on the next bill (if your parents have a plan and get a bill) should be deducted from your sister's allowance or paycheque until these costs are paid in full.\n\nFourth of all, if the boy who presently has the phone right now has any conscience or self respect he will drop the phone off in the lost and found tomorrow so that you can retrieve it.  If he doesn't then I guess your sister will have learned a valuable lesson from this act of disrespecting your parent's wishes.\n\nFifth of all, if I were you I would call the telephone service immediately if she has a plan on the phone to let them know that the phone was lost (not stolen) so that any future calls made on the phone will not be charged to your parents.  You are responsible for the calls that are made on that phone whether the phone is in your possession or not.  That'

You sound like a kid, with the bus stop thing, so I would talk to your parents.  They can then talk to the girl's parents and explain the situation.  You could also look into talking to the bully's parents, and see if they won't make him pay for it

If you want to help her, educate yourself about the due process involved in abuse cases. In most instances, the minor is removed from the home until an investigation is completed. She may be moved to a home of a family member (who may or may not allow her father to see her despite the courts order), a foster home (where she may or may not be mistreated) or a group home (again, where she may or may not be mistreated). I am not suggesting that child abuse is right, but there are no ways of guaranteeing that she will not be further victimized in her quest for help. Before you (or she) make a plan on what to do, consider all the options involved. Good luck. \n\nP.S. I am an abuse survivor and child abuse advocate.

It's the same as everywhere; you or your b/f hurt her, you go to jail unless it's self defense and you'd better be able to prove it. I'm a former police officer and if you attacked her, I would arrest you. What you need to do is to talk to the girl's parents. She sounds obsessive and that can be dangerous. You need to document every offense, possibly video tape her doing it or recording her with a hidden tape recorder, which, in Texas, you can legally do as long as one party in the conversation is aware that it's being taped, i.e. you or your boyfriend talking to her. If she shows up at your home, call the police. If her parents refuse to put a stop to it, go to the school principal if you are all in the same school and if need be, the police but do not lay a hand on her unless she attacks you. Where do you think sympathy might lie in a court of law? With you and your b/f who are older, or what they would consider a child misbehaving? Right or wrong, sympathy will be on her side because of her age. You both have to be the mature ones in this case. Don't try to solve it on your own. Do tell her when you speak to her that you are going to call the police or go to her parents and if that doesn't work, do as I instructed. It's the safesty way for anyone. There is no excuse for violence unless you are protecting yourself or someone else from a physical threat. Good luck.

try to carry a web cam or get a friend of yours to get pics the next time these schmucks hit you. THEN you make copies of everything and go to the school. if the school doesn't do anything you sue them and have the jerk offs charged with assault and battery.\n\nVin

You need to tell a school official.  This behavior is unacceptable.  The school has a responsibility to curb this and protect you.  If the school does nothing the next time this happens, call the police and press charges.  The school will have liability as well and you may be able to sue them for doing nothing.  Good luck.

If you live in or near MagaVista/Magothy river middles school area i know what you are talking about. I would ask the county to pay for a hotel for you and family etc. and pay for all necessary accommodations for your troubles, if you go in and fight with them they will because even though that was an accident it is still their fault and it is not healthy nor comfortable in that situation.

You should call the police...unless you killed her.  In that case, call a lawyer.

The school should definitely be held accountable for not intervening and stopping the harassment.  They are responsible for investigating claims, such as the girls, and acting on the proper disciplinary methods to prevent it from happening again. I do hope that her parents moved her to another school. A school is supposed to be a learning (educational) environment free of harassment of any kind. We all know that it does happen. However, if she reported the incidents and pleaded for help then, the school should be sued over it. I would get a copy of the schools code of conduct as grounds and  more than likely her parents would have to file the suit, (assuming she is a minor).
