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.
Even if any of that was true, how could they be allowed to share a students personal details like so?
Schools and students rights are a pretty wild legal topic.
For instance, anything you say to the school administration can be used against you in court without you being read your rights.
This is because the school is legally operating as the parents while the child is there, and parents don't need to read kids their rights.
But, the school is being sued for slander as well, so it could very well be that it was illegal to share that info.
Thank God it’s not fucked up like that in every country.
Our crazy is spreading. Get out and vote to prevent it from happening in your country.
