How can you say if you are being harrased?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by John J. Carney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Schools have to be very careful as they get sued by everybody. They are not doing anything illegal and there is not much you can do. They think you are not doing exactly what they would like you to do so they are reporting you, that is common. If you are a good parent with a clean home nothing will come of it. Do not get them upset or they will cause you a lot more trouble.... Read More

Can I sue for mental, physical and emotional distress?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by Mr. David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers
You need to discuss all of this with an attorney. For example, I cannot tell from your question who you want to sue, and for what. I cannot tell if you want to sue the child who accused you, the police who charged you, the prosecutor who prosecuted you, or the jailers who neglected your medical treatment. If you want to sue the police or prosecutor, a lawyer would need to review the evidence on which the charge was based. If there was probable cause for the charge, you would have no case. If you want to sue the jail for medical neglect, an attorney would need to review the medical records to determine whether they failed to provide minimally acceptable medical treatment.... Read More

Is it illegal for 2 sheriffs to ask my 12 year old questions when I'm not home?

Answered 12 years and 6 months ago by John J. Carney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers
The police can question any witness. A minor suspect is different, they "should" try to locate the parents, but they usually do not.
