As a former teacher in a public school, the school boards make policies regarding cell phones to avoid situations such as this and the policies are perfectly legal.  For example, the school I used to work for had the policy (which had to be reviewed & approved by the school system attorney) that students were not to have cell phones on during school hours and if they did, the phone was confiscated for a certain amount of days and was subject to search.  These parents who believe their children can do no wrong is what IS wrong with our public (and some private) school systems.  If the child has information or if they have a phone and shouldn't have one at school, then the policies are there to help the school do its job.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kristy73786]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 5th 2010 2:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh, and withholding information IS a crime...it is called obstruction of justice.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kristy73786]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 5th 2010 2:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</guid><description><![CDATA[Withholding WHAT evidence?!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[joe t]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 5th 2010 5:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</guid><description><![CDATA[Obviously, there is more to this story.

Another idiot bringing up that McDonalds law suit. For the umpteenth time, the woman was scalded, requiring skin grafts. That McDonalds had been warned for years that the coffee, kept at 30 degrees above serving temperature, was a financial disaster waiting to happen. Big businesses typically only respond to something only if it affects their bottom line; otherwise, the hell with the safety of their employees/customers.<br><br>As far as this clown goes, what was going on in his household that his daughter would be involved in this kind of thing? He should look into how he parents his children instead of looking for a windfall on the pretense of his daughter's "rights." What chance does she stand if her father is this stupid?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lita]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2010 8:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</guid><description><![CDATA[as far as the Mcdonalds issue goes, the woman was aware of that fact and stupidly did what she did , and should have paid the consequence there of]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[patricia a boies]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2010 8:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</guid><description><![CDATA[It is un fortunate she was burned, but it was coffee and she knew it was hot, and  so it was still an absurd amount.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2010 9:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</guid><description><![CDATA[The article didn't say they found anything like what they were looking for on the phone.

He's more concerned with getting rich quick than the activities that his daughter is involved in.  Even more stupid, is the lawyer that takes this case.  I hope they lose & have to pay the legal fees in this stupid frivilous lawsuit.  My daughter's school does not allow cell phones, period.  And in the article, it said "she handed the phone over to the school officials".  Put me on that jury.  I'd hold the father in contempt for wasting taxpayers' money.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sue]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2010 11:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</guid><description><![CDATA[They'll probably be awarded some sort of damages, but definitely not the $7.5 million.  Trust me on that one.  When lawsuits are filed, lawyers ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS sue for as much as they possibly can.  A judge, or even the parties involved in the litigation, will eventually whittle the number down to something realistic.  I've typed up memos for cases that involve several separate counts of various crimes, each of which carried an amount of $5 million.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Srmhomer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2010 9:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/04/family-seeks-7-5-million-because-high-school-read-daughters-te/</guid><description><![CDATA[What a nice change of pace, a MALE gold-digger, trying to cash in on his daughter's  i-phone being searched by school officials.
