Should the mother sue the police officer?

The police have to get things under control and quickly in a situation like that.  You already have one child injured and possibly more.  I'm willing to bet the little darlings did not settle down when the police came on the bus.  Unfortunately, the innocent also got sprayed.   The mother that should do the suing is the mother who's son was hit in the head.  She should sue the other boy and his parents.

Well, there are no guarantees in family law, but I suspect a judge would take that newest baby as prima facie evidence that the mother is not a particularly good influence on the kids.  This is especially true if the father has a decent place for the kids to live, someone to watch them while he works, etc.  She really screwed up, didn't she?

cops cannot legally take custody of a child from one biological parent and give it to another.  UNLESS the children are in danger.  \n\nHe needs to get a court date and fight for custody of those kids.  Also, those cops can get in trouble for taking the kids.  \n\nIf the house was his, the wife had no right or business having a key or allowing anyone else in the house without his permission.  \n\nHe needs to get a lawyer and do it soon!

If your mother received child support from the State in lieu of money from your dad, then she has nothing else coming and the State will go after him to recoup the monies they paid your mother.\n\nIf she received nothing, then it is a matter of the court and she (not you) must hire an attorney who is familiar with the procedures to go after him.

a mother has a right to evict him in an untimely matter, actually. sometimes kids need tough love-a kick in the butt to get them moving.

It sounds like in your particular case, you don't want to sue the individuals, but the District Attorney's office and the Police Department. Individuals are only liable for their conduct in a public office if they knowingly violate someone's civil rights, and it requires a fairly grevious violation of civil rights. The police had to have reasonably known that they were violating a solidified right. Otherwise, they have qualified immunity.\n\nEdit: I wanted to add that the holders of a particular office are only protected from civil litigation, not from being sued to force them to do something they are obligated to do by law, but you would be suing the department really, not the individuals.

This sounds fishy to me...No body has to pay the police not to get arrested.  sounds like fraud.  Just let them arrest her, and when she gets to holding, tell them that she is entitled to a public defender.  that is free to people who are unable to pay

yes and ill tell you why.if it is a open case and/or open investigation then you don't any any rights to what ever information was gathered pertaining to this case.you said the key word " being accused " and " report made ". police officer's don't have to inform the parents about anything unless the child under the age of 18 is in custody or about to be taken into custody. the law's very from state to state about minors. if the case was closed w/ out charges filed or if the case is pending or closed w/ out action. then freedom of information act does not apply. only time parent's have rights's to information is when the child is read his right's then a parent has to state " yes i understand his/her rights " due to a minor not having the consent or legal right to answer it.

Well- if you look in the Yellow Pages under "Attorneys" you should find a whole crapload of them willing to represent her, for a fee.  Why does she need representation for what happened to your brother, anyway?  Sounds like he should not have fled the police.

The police can charge you with whatever they want.\n\nAnd, you can sue whomever for whatever you want.\n\nThe court will decide the issue, so it is up to the court whether there is a valid complaint.\n\nYahoo answers is not a court, so asking on Yahoo answers about the outcome of a trial is pointless.

If they were never divorced ( and the father may well have had a divorce did that the mom did not know about)\n\nBut if they are stll married, she can sue for divorce, and ask for part of the money.  ( she should get an attorney)

The parents' legal responsiblity to care for their child is independant of the actions of the child.  The prosecutor and police would still have the judgement call on their own as to what response they would have.  In cases where the parents had made reasonable efforts to monitor their child's whereabouts, and the child goes astray, there is rarely consequences to the parent.  If the parent left the child alone at home willfully, the consequences would likely be greater.

Yes, I see your point completely.\nI would like to sue Miss Conduct for threatening my lousy kids, also.

If you care about her, you'd better tell the truth.  Imagine what will happen if you lie to her and then she hears it from the insurance agent what the damages were, based on the police report... that wouldn't be good for you.  Also, you just blew your best cover by posting that question here, where your mom or any of her friends can easily find out.
