I am seeking an attorney regarding a school safety incident involving my *-year-old daughter at a Pike Township preschool. She was left outside alone and unsupervised for more than * minutes after her class returned inside. The school did not notify me; I learned about the incident from my daughter, who said she was alone, crying, and scared. Administration later confirmed the incident after reviewing video footage. My request to view the footage has been denied, and local school leadership has not directly acknowledged the incident or provided meaningful follow-up. I am concerned about whether required state reporting occurred and what safety measures have been implemented. I am seeking counsel regarding evidence preservation/access, reporting requirements, school liability, and potential civil remedies, including whether compensatory or punitive damages may be appropriate.
