1. Looks like a good lawsuit. Sounds like assault and battery to me.

With an extra dose of intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Hope they win big.

4. From what I read, it really was that simple and that stupid

The school's excuse was that they didn't want to put the child through the humiliation of calling the parents.

You can't make shit up this good.

5. They might have made that kid terrified of taking a bath.

How much effort would it have taken for the parents to be called for a sanity check? Sometimes kids go through a phase of not wanting to take baths.
