Kansas - The athletic director of my minor childs school called the county attorney's office and wanted to know if my daughter was going to be charged with anything - is it legal for the county atterny to discuss matters that are regarding a minor child?

how about you get more detailed then this.

who, what when where and why, are all important questions.

her name was all over the scanner this weekend - the officer gave her a breathalizer and she passed with 0.00 - but now the school wants to kick her off of the team because they think she has a minor in consumption. They called the county attorney to confirm - the county attorney's office told them they had not decided on if they would charge her or not

Your minor daughter is out possibly misbehaving and you are worried about a phone call to the DA???:confused:

Calling the DA is not illegal. The DA discussing with her school whether or not charges will be filed is not illegal either.

alright thats a bit more. thanks for being as vague as humanly possible, again. so can you answer the following specific details...

was she arrested? exactly how old is she? what makes you think this matter is private? the DA hasn't decided yet? you'd better lawyer up.


the coach is an interested party, since it is his job to enforce the rules of the team which I'm sure clearly state she is to not get into any criminal trouble at all. which she has, so she might get removed from the team, and thats not illegal either.

and criminal cases are of public record, until sealed by a judge at its conclusion.


I agree you are focused on something trivial.

the question is, if it was so private, how did it get through the grapevine to the coach? and for 1000 if it was illegal to discuss it, why would the DA take the call, and answer the question. ? they didnt even give a detailed response...

I have not been to Kansas, but I'm sure the DA's office would be completely professional in discussing the matter with interested public. (as in persons with a contractual interest in her criminal behavior like her coach, or probation officer) If the coach has no way to know about a students criminal activity, how could he enforce the rule? the honor code? yes, It appears this family is totally honorable.


And what are you going to do if it was improper? get the case thrown out? get her to keep her spot on the team? get the person fired, or sue them for defamation? earn a smiley face sticker? no.

I get you CC, but he really didn't disclose anything. He said he had not decided;)
I'd have to check the applicable statutes, but here? It would be illegal to even admit a case exists regarding a child....

However, being a school official, there may be some exceptions - and if the child plays sports, you'd better believe that somewhere in the contract says that this type of behavior gets you kicked off the team.

Gee, you aren't trying to insinuate that mom or dad would try to get the coach in trouble, just so their kid could stay on the team against school rules are you? I'm sure no parent would try to teach their child to lie and use underhanded methods, in life. ;)
