    I won't give a torts lesson, but I'd say his chances are slim. There will be more of this...

    They should have to release the names of the parents, there's a reason why they're not. They know it's an absurd claim and the public response would be swift.

    Disgusting and irresponsible by the parents

    They filed the claim within a week of the shooting. They are bottom feeding scum.

    If, as the suit claims, this incident was foreseeable, would that not mean the parents knew that they were putting their child in harms way? That being the case, shouldn't the parents be charged with criminal neglect?

    Did you expect anything less? Our society had degraded to an embarrassing level.

    Problem is, I'm serious. They filed this claim in court and being a legal document, their claims are allegedly true. That being the case, they knowingly and willfully enrolled their child in a school where this act was foreseeable. That, in my opinion constitutes criminal negligence. If this was foreseeable in their opinion, what portion of this act becomes their responsibility for not only putting their child in this situation, but also not forewarning other parents?

    1) What terrible people to even think about filing suit
    2) What weenie prosecutors for allowing such an absurd case to get to court

    3) They should be counter sued by the county to off-set the costs of their wasteful lawsuit

    You would think the parents would just be happy their child was not killed? 26 others were not so lucky....

    Is it the 100 million dollars or is it the idea of some one profiting from tragedy?

    100 million is not really that much money, how many athletes have larger contracts? Really after the lawyers get their cut,and the Obama administration gets their share and all cost aligned with this ever getting to a court of law and you can clearly see that these modest folks will be lucky to clear enough blood money to choke on.

    JG, proceeds from lawsuits are not taxable. Therefore, the lawyer gets his 25-33% plus expenses and the family gets the rest. If this law suit is allowed to go forward and the family gets awarded anything at all, I hope the court stipulates that all monies awarded are to be spent for the child's psychiatry bills and nothing else and then is monitored to ensure that happens.

    Maybe if some money would have previously been spent getting Adam the help he desperately needed this thread would be like an honest, ethical attorney, non existent.
