Unfortunately, you cannot usually sue the government for being stupid. The law of Governmental Immunity usually requires proof of gross negligence (which is almost like an intentional act), an intentional act, or a violation of your constitutional rights. In your case, the government was just normally stupid. I wish that I had the right words or suggestions to make you feel better. First, your parents (yes, both of them) failed to live up to their responsibilities as parents, then the "system" screwed up. You might go to the county prosecutor and speak directly to either him/her or an assistant; provide them with the address, name, etc. of your father and insist that they do something. It is too late to sue the SOB civilly, so your only remedy will be through the criminal court. You might talk to a lawyer about a Writ of Superintending Control to compel the prosecutor and/or the police to act.
