What is the name of your state? MD
My son was assaulted by his classmate (13). As a result of the assault, my son will need lifetime treatment of his mouth with 3 surgeries soon to come. I had my day in court with the trial dismissed as the defendant's Atty cited 'in loco parentis' in which a parent cannot be held liable to the actions of a minor (under 16) while not present or while child did not commit act under the direction of parent. These kids were 1 month outside of 13 at the time and the assault took place in school. My son has suffered! Do I have a leg for an appeal, and if so, what will overturn 'in loco parentis' making parent responsible for my son's dental expenses??
Any Help Please.
Thank You!
