What is the name of your state? Texas
My 9 yr old son was attacked at school on Friday. I was out of reach. They came by my house(it was so bad), however did not leave a note. He was in need of stitches his tooth went all the way through his face. They refused to call my father long distance. And he is on the forms to contact in case of an emergency. Also, they have permission to take him to the hospital if needed. They did not. they put him on the school bus with open wounds and sent him home, not sure if I was there or not. Can I file charges on the school for child medical neglect and simply for not doing their job to make sure my son was ok.
Thanks for your help, I am so upset

I'd certainly talk to a local lawyer.

**A: how were you not sure if you were home or not?

The school wasn't sure if the parent was home, and put the kid on the bus regardless. Of course, I'm not sure how, if a note wasn't left, OP knows the school rep came by.

Ok you lost me. I know I was not at home at the exact time it happened. However, I was back home 20 minutes later and they never called me. He sat in the nurses office for 2 hrs then they put him on a bus and sent him home. When he got here is when I rushed him in. Today they are still refusing to give out any information. I am still awaiting a phone call back from a local attorney.
The nurse says she came by my house Friday however there was no note left for me to contact the school. There is no proof whatesoever that they even tried to contact me.
Thanks,
Melissa
