Someone’s gonna get fired and one family is going to be soooooo rich......
I hate to break it to you, but that isn’t how the law works. You have to prove damages. So many people think that lawsuits are like the lottery. That just because someone claims that they are going to get “millions” that they will. Those cases are extraordinarily rare and damages in those cases are usually extreme.
In 1984 when Reagan was running for reelection, Geo. H.W. Bush made a campaign stop where I was at university. I knew a woman that went to see him that had a 6-year-old boy at home. They were searching all women’s handbags and found her son’s toy Derringer cap-gun in her purse. She didn’t know it was there. The Secret Service had Venus spread-eagle on the ground until they figured out what was in her purse.
But, that wasn’t a neighbor/teacher/social worker being a busybody.
