A judge in Virginia has ruled that a teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student in class can press forward with a $40 million lawsuit.

While I agree that the individuals in the administration who touched the issue and failed to act should be at the very least fired for negligence resulting in serious bodily harm, I don’t think they did anything criminal. They made some poor decisions and a woman was hurt under their purview - they did not cause the woman to be shot.
They did commit criminal acts. Criminal negligence and child endangerment. Multiple people reported the existence of a gun on the premises and a person stating intent to use it. Doesnt matter if that person was a child. The administrators knew a gun was in the posession of a child and failed to call the police or secure the weapon.
I’d throw a charge of child endangerment on those administrators for each child in the school.
if a gun is reported and you fail to act, you deserve prison.
Do you have any examples of this? I can’t think of any cases where somebody was found guilty in a criminal court for failing to act on a report of a firearm being present.
This is a civil case, why do you keep saying criminal?
Both posts I was replying to refer to criminal acts
Criminal acts are what you prosecute in civil… aight, I’m done. Just try to keep the ideas clear from now on.
