If the bullying has been documented online and in school, the mother actually has one hell of a case. Especially in this current climate of kids committing suicide and getting killed by bullies.
If I were school officials I would be more concerned about damage control on student bullying than an irate parent.
Do ya'll work in the school system?
You know how many irate parents come and go on the daily and NOTHING happens?
But the fact that a parent had to go to this length to address a female black child being bullied by white male students...
If the mom is smart, she would make this a national issue and go to the newspaper and local press with the grievance.
Play the "I don't know what else I could do!" card.
The racial element to the bullying (if there is one) could be deemed as a hate crimes as well. She could take her daughter to get tested and if it's deemed that the events at the school have created PTSD in the student, she could have an even better lawsuit. If they arent addressing the bullying, all roads will lead right back to the school. This mother could skate by completely scot free.
A.) the school should never have allowed the bullying to go unaddressed
B.) the school should never have allowed the mom to address the kids and she did so without any interruption.
The school holds absolutely liability in either case, and if she is smart she can spin it that she had to go to these lengths in lieu of the school's negligence, ESPECIALLY in this era of increased school violence.
The only way I know shyt like this would fly is b/c I've been in several cases this past year where the schools did not address bullying and similar shyt happened. The school is lucky b/c one of my female Hispanic students got beaten up on the way home. Well her brother was head of the MS-13.
They tagged our school.
And drove by shooting during the day for weeks. Four boys were beaten so bad that two of them are permenantly paralyzed and would have been killed if law enforcement hadn't arrived. The others had stab wounds.
Bullying is not a joke.
