My 18 year old son was refused transportation back from an out of state trip 200 miles from home. he had been arrested and released by police and the assistant principal refused him transportation home over an hour before we were contacted.
My son made it 3/4 of the way back to us when in his despair he took his life by jumping between the train cars.
We have filed a wroungful death suit and because of NY state'sarchiac laws the schools insurance company will throw us a few thousand dollars and walk away.
Shouldn't there be a breach of contract between the school and us as parents, aren't they to act in loco parentis? Could it possibly be a federal suit being my son was transported out of state?
My attorney is from a small firm and balks at these ideas. Unfortunatly the other firms I wrote to don't seem interested because there is no big pay off in sight.
Any feedback would be apprecciated
Thank You
