'The Coliseum Commission also "knew, or should have known, that the rave would attract minors under the age of majority … yet it failed to enforce such minimum age requirement," the claim said.' And these people had no responsibility to know where their daughter was and what she was doing.

My thoughts exactly. Sad situation, but no way should anyone be found culpable but themselves.

Countersuit: PArents of this 15 year old daughter ATTENDING A RAVE should have known she was prone to take drugs and engage in risky, stupid, and potentially deadly behavior.

These parents ought to be strung up for attempting this lawsuit. As well as the lawyers they hired.

You didn’t read the memo from the Paultard Freepers.

The correct interpretation is that this would not have happened except for the war on drugs.

Everything would be fine and the kid would be alive if drugs were legal.

Damn, that sounds just as stupid as when the libtardarians say it.

Sad story, sorry their daughter died. The parents need to look inward and look at what part they played, and quit listening to sheister(?) lawyers.

Is there an age of majority for taking Ecstasy? I thought the drug was illegal, no matter how old the person is.

Years ago a stupid teenage boy climbed over the barbed wire barrier, including the angled out barbed wire, and onto a trnsformer.

The obvious happened and he died.

The parents made public that they were going to sue. Public outrage made them change their minds within a few days.

Happened in Colorado Springs, IIRC in the 80’s

That’s what should happen here. Won’t but should.

[Lorianne]

The parents should be prosecuted for negligent homicide.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Yet another set of guilt-ridden parents who want to blame anyone but themselves and their daughter for the daughter OD’ing on drugs. How many kids were in that Coliseum who didn’t OD on drugs? I’m sorry the girl died too but if the parents want to blame someone other than, of course, the girl for actually taking the drugs, they should point the finger right at themselves. At one level or another, their bad parenting killed their kid.

[Lorianne]

The parents should be prosecuted for negligent homicide.

[Valpal1]

The Coliseum is culpable because they failed to enforce their own posted minimum age requirements and make sure that minors were in fact accompanied by the required adult parent/guardian.

When a bar serves minors they are fined and can lose their liquor license. Same thing here, you can’t shed liability by claiming the minors were breaking rules you weren’t even enforcing anyway.

[GeronL]

Of course, sue the taxpayers instead of the people who gave the idiot brat the drug.
