It's more fucked up than just that.
The school (for some reason) gave UK Tabloid The Daily Mail an interview.
They said the father cheated on the mother and forced the daughter to move in with the mistress, that the victim was a drug dealer and was beaten for selling laced marijuana to her attackers, so the victim killed herself because of her unstable home life and drug addiction, not the beating the school ignored.
So they're not just being sued for not doing anything after the beating, they're being sued for slander as well.
Edit:
Since OPs link doesn't go into all that, here's the article I read the other day so you don't have to take my word on it
https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/teens-suicide-after-school-beating-video-goes-viral-sparks-family-lawsuit-for-catastrophic-failure-and-cruel-treatment-by-school-officials/
I also forgot the school brought up the victims mom died of suicide as well... Implying it would have happened anyways.
"eat the shit sandwich" is unbelievably crass when talking about the suicide of a teenage girl who was their student. Fucking hell.
Jesus, that's just pure malice on the school's part. Not even through incompetence, it seems downright deliberate. Absolute sociopaths, I hope the family takes them to the fuckin' cleaners.
Yeah, I was really surprised this article just ignores all that extra stuff. That's the main reason for the lawsuit.
Especially since it was for a tabloid from another country, like why wouldn't you just ignore them?
Yeeeeeeeeshhhh good fuck them then I hope they all burn
And we let people like this near kids. No wonder society is where it's at
Jfc
God, it boils your blood doesn't it. That poor child. She is at peace now.
