Outcome:
Kids receive help from school so they can get an education
Description:
School threatened to hold back parents’ daughter and simultaneously sued the parents for neglect of their children. Sadly, the oldest daughter had an illness that kept her hospitalized and made attending school impossible. The school, however, failed to meet several protections afforded to the parents and jumped the gun with their lawsuit. After a few months of negotiations, the suit was dropped, the school paid for a social worker to help the children, and the children could attend school.
