The family said the district “breached their duty of care” and caused their son “emotional distress.”

No, 𝙩𝒉𝙚𝒚 caused, and continue to cause their son "emotional distress.'

Mormons are deeply opposed to pre-marital sex because of the deep-seated fear it is something that could lead to dancing.

So SCOTUS strikes down Biden's plan to forgive student debt and wiped out affirmative action in the same week AND removed LGBTQ+ rights allowing people to be bigots in public serving places of business. . Canada is looking more promising by the minute.

For a religion founded by two guys who fucked every woman they could, Mormonism is pretty uptight about sex.

I know it's way early for an OT, but god damn...

Scot Petersen, the supposed "good guy with a gun" deputy who completely failed to confront the Parkland shooter. was just acquitted of any wrongdoing. Acquitted in the very same courtroom that the shooter (Nikolas Cruz) was sentenced to life in prison was.

Petersen sobbed heavily as the verdict was read and then pumped his fist. "We got our life back after 4 1/2 years" said Petersen. Oh, you fucking cowardly shit. YOUR life was never in danger. Why? Because instead of doing your job, you backed away and left 17 people to be killed along with 17 wounded.

Being a deputy means the possibility of having to give your life to save others, DICKsen, You knew that going in. If you knew that possibility was there, why did you ever take the job? "The Coward from Broward," is right.

Nope. Allowing a teenager brief periods without direct supervision doesn't breach any duty of care, and the only emotional distress caused to the kid is the religious trauma inflicted by the family.

Ha. Trying to stop teenagers from teenageing is like trying turn off gravity.

I honestly wonder what the heck this sort of parent expects to happen when they tell their teenager to wait for marriage. I also wonder if these parents waited for marriage.

Teenagers have been having premarital sex for thousands of years. It's not going to change. The school is hardly responsible for human nature, and while it might could have managed this a bit better, a graduating senior is old enough to make this decision under most state laws anyway. At some point, parents just have to deal with the fact that they won't be able to run their child's life forever, and high school is usually where that happens.

Honestly, I just hope they used an appropriate prophylactic measure. From the story, that seems unlikely, and it's likely the girl will have more consequences from that than the young man under discussion here.

Never fear, Mr. and Mrs. Doe. When this case gets the the supreme court you'll get a slam-dunk win. Religious liberty, aka the right to force others to behave the way you want them to, is the most important thing in the whole goddamn universe, dontcha know.

Nobody has ever successfully explained to me the existence of that superfluous "m" in "Mormon".

Better sue god for making horny teenagers.

And the Christians on SCOTUS just opened the door to kill off non-discrimination laws at the behest of Christians bringing the lawsuit on a fictional claim of harm with the intent of legalizing discrimination.

So much Christian love, right?

Laughable. However, I would be interested to know if the girl was Mormon. I am thinking she probably was not so son thought it didn't count. And, if she is Mormon there are probably wedding bells in both their near future. The only "emotional distress, this boy had comes from his parents, his religion and the stupidity of the parents making all this public. In a religions, like the Mormon religion where the male is dominate over women, I am sure those good Mormon boys feel taking a young girl sexually and otherwise is their right.

Many thanks to the christians who still gleefully belong to the cult that pitched a fake case to a corrupt court. Guessing Windsor and Obergefell will be next on the chopping block but our christian cheerleaders who post here tell us that conservative christains are wonderful people.

I’m shocked they didn’t sue the parents of the little hussy who led their son into temptation.

Some questions…

How old is JD and the girlfriend?

Did the school consider adding certain monitoring duties during this time where students weren’t expected to be in class?

Can the school legally inspect student vehicles or are they subject to the same inspection restrictions as lockers?

These parents are lashing out because they feel like they’re failing at parenting their child. They are, but not in the way they think. So they’re blaming anyone they can for their own failures . Take responsibility for your own children and your mistakes.
