More details to this question:
my niece was involved with someone in school about to turn 18. things turned ugly and person kept harassing my niece but my niece was trying to be the better person and let it all go. however, said person made it look like my niece was the one harassing her and that shes a crazy person. they ended up fighting in which my niece hurt this girl and her mother filed a temporary restraining order. i am to go to court on the 4th. the officer who served me the papers advised that i would not be able to use notarized letters from the children with the parents consent or my telephone records showing all the text messages she sent to my niece threatening and talking disrespectfully to her. i wanted to know if this was valid. i also wanted to know if the school would have to provide me with the tape to see what exactly happen or if i would have to subpoena them. thank you for your assistance.

Unless you are the legal guardian of the neice as a minor, YOU have nothing to do with this. This would be her biological parents or the nieces issue if she is 18. Other than that someone needs to retain a lawyer to represemt the neice for the TRO and potentlal legal ation otherwise.
