“Are you my new guidance counselor?”

“Could you unzip?”

Really?

What happened to accountability? So I guess we should put in caps for medical malpractice but we should hold a school district accountable for a teachers actions?

So I work for a business and at that business I work with children and I decide to take liberties with that child, should my actions allow that business to be sued?

I think not. It's obvious that sue happiness shouldn't include any public or private enterprise unless they took a direct action in allowing the issue to take hand. Prove to me that the school district either knew the teacher was aware of the conduct and allowed it to happen or move on.

In most cases against the Catholic Church the cases brought against them have been able to prove that the Church allowed the molestation to happen by moving the priest to another church after a previous transgression took place.

"Prove to me that the school district either knew the teacher was aware of the conduct and allowed it to happen or move on."

Did you even read the story?

The suit also claimed that the William S. Hart High School District knew the counselor had done similar things with other minors, should have seen what was happening to C.A., and should be held responsible for failing to take reasonable steps to protect the student.

The suit was filed four months after the same counselor, Roselyn Hubbell, was arrested at a motel with another youth. She pleaded no contest...

That doesn’t show proof.

"That doesn’t show proof."

That is the purpose of a lawsuit, to provide the proof. By not allowing a lawsuit, they are condoning this animal behavior. If I was on the jury I would stick it to the school district.
