Re: Another pointless lawsuit in the works.. (taping students in for curfew)

First of all, this kid and his mom are both whiners. There was some tape on their door. BFD. Anyone who thinks some duct tape around the edge of the door (and I doubt the ENTIRE door was sealed...it was probably like a 6" long piece of tape) is going to keep their kid from exiting in the case of an emergency is nuts. Stories like this represent everything that is wrong with the litigious nature of our society.

How is that true? If you were following curfew, you'd never even know your door was taped

I was a student on a team, and I know I wasn't always following curfew. Now that I'm partially responsible for the wellbeing of kids on my team, I don't want them having any unnecessary opportunities to get into trouble.
