That's an ugly way of looking at it. You don't believe that a person has a right to sue if he's been molested? That he should just shut up and take it? For all you know, this kid may need a therapist for years. If the parents sue, that money will help pay for that therapy.
Oh, I think this teacher needs to go to prison. But that "negligence" statement tells me they're already looking for a whole different kind of justice. When did we develop the idea that justice=money?
Welcome to FR. Wake up and smell the jerks. Most here do not believe there is any justifiable cause of action for anything. I just hope it is them that has to deal with a true tradgedy and they get a jury of morons with the same views.
