$7.6 Million For Response Time??

So a child had a seizure that stopped his heart on a playground. The adults who responded didn't respond in time to help prevent brain damage to this child. So, therefore, the parents get $7.6 million? What would have happened if the child was at home when this happened? Ambulances take AT LEAST 5 minutes to get to you. This is a sad state of affairs when the school really wasn't at fault here and the parents are lawsuit happy. They had a child who now needs 24 hour care and they didn't want to go through the struggles that any other parent would have to, so they sue the school.

This is why schools don't have enough money for things. Who do you think is going to pay for this? California state taxpayers will. Property taxes will go up. New tax measures will show up at election time. This is why you always see schools getting more and more money but the schools never seem to improve. Tax payers are pissed as it is for their high tax rates, only to see it pissed away by someone who decided to be greedy and sue a school simply because their child was at that place when his seizure took place. Had he been home, they'd be screwed.
