[QUOTE="witzend, post: 148500, member: 99"] While it may violate HIPAA, an attorney is only going to make sure that they [I]enforce[/I] HIPAA, not get retribution of any kind. Your school district should understand HIPAA rules and can accomplish the same thing without dragging the expense of an attorney into it. As far as the name calling goes, the same thing pretty much applies. The school district should have a clue about this and should reprimand her and any others involved in no uncertain terms. But to win any sort of compensation beyond a change of attitude and an apology, you would have to prove that not only were the statements untrue, but that she suffered financial harm. Since she already had mental health issues, it's legally difficult to prove that she suffered any harm from it. The place to start is with the school district. Document everything, copy everything, and send everything by certified mail. If [I]that[/I] doesn't work, [I]then[/I] you get an attorney. [/QUOTE]
