Re: my daughter

IF this happened at school you very well may have a potential suit against the school...

You may also have a suit against the childs parents, if that is even worth pursuing is another question.

However, if you are considering suing the school you MUST do so ASAP as there are very limited statutes of limtiations in such cases many times...
