Q: It started with a rumor that a kid started about my kid was going to bring a gun to school. My kid has never done anything wrong in school, never been suspended or anything and because of that rumor the principal called the cops and tried to make it look like my son was the kind of person who would do that. My son went to a mental facility and was evaluated and they said he has no homicidal tendencies. He was away from home for five days because of this. Now whenever anything happens at the school, like a foul odor a cop comes to the door to question my son. What do I do?
A: David's Answer: You may wish to consider a lawsuit against both the school & the police for arresting your child without probable cause. The issue may be whether they actually had reasonable grounds from brining him to the mental facility involuntarily. This will take a full assessment by a civil rights lawyer - so call one in your area & schedule a consult. -- David Bliven, Bronx Civil Rights attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
