The parents and their lawyer should be jointly liable for all defense costs if their suit is found to have no merit. Instituting this type of punishment for bogus lawsuits would put a stop to many of them. However, like some of you said they are taking their chances and hope they will have a biased jury that will go with the “someone has to pay” mentality. Whatever happened to self responsibility. What kid has not been told drugs are bad? It is sad but the girl should have known better and if she did not her parents should have known she did not know better and not allow her to go. The real issue is how ignorant much of our society has become. Many years ago these people and their lawyer would have been ashamed to bring such a suit and it is sad that today they are not only not ashamed but will likely have a jury of fools that could actually award $ for this.
Yeah, the LA Memorial Coliseum Commission should have known that there would be drugs & all kinds of s**t going on at a rave. The parents should have known that their daughter was attending the event even if she was under age, taking drugs & who knows what else. Now the commission should sue the parents and the promoters.

So, even if she had been 16, there would have been drugs. So what is the Coliseum to do…strip search and do a cavity check of all attendees?
this is a deep pocket attempting to be picked.
I hope my CA fellow bloggers are wrong and a jury gives this one a cold, cold shoulder.
