🔍 Why Taylor County Families Need a Hazing Lawyer

Hazing is not just “boys being boys” or “tradition.” It is abuse, assault, and torture—and it happens in Taylor County, Florida, just like it happens everywhere else in America.

Taylor County parents: If your child has been hazed, they may be afraid to speak up. They may feel shame, embarrassment, or loyalty to the organization that hurt them. But hazing is illegal, and the people who did this need to be held accountable.

💔 What Hazing Looks Like in Taylor County

Hazing in Taylor County can take many forms, including:

• Physical abuse (beatings, paddling, branding, forced exercise to exhaustion)
• Forced consumption (alcohol, food, non-food substances until vomiting)
• Waterboarding or simulated drowning (yes, this happens in Florida too)
• Sleep deprivation (forced late-night activities, early-morning driving)
• Psychological torture (humiliation, degradation, threats of expulsion)
• Sexual abuse (forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects)
• Extreme physical punishment (500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls, “suicides”)

This is not “tradition.” This is not “brotherhood.” This is not “team bonding.”
This is abuse. And it is illegal.

🏥 The Medical Consequences of Hazing in Taylor County

Hazing doesn’t just leave emotional scars—it can cause life-threatening injuries, including:

If your child was hazed in Taylor County and suffered any of these injuries, they may be entitled to compensation.

⚖️ Florida Hazing Laws — What Taylor County Families Need to Know

Florida has strong anti-hazing laws, including:

📜 Florida Statute § 1006.63 — Hazing Prohibited

“Hazing” means any action or situation that recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for purposes including, but not limited to, initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization operating under the sanction of a postsecondary institution.

This includes:

• Physical brutality (beating, paddling, branding)
• Forced consumption (alcohol, food, drugs)
• Sleep deprivation
• Psychological abuse
• Any activity that creates a risk of harm

🚨 Criminal Penalties for Hazing in Florida

⚠️ Consent is NOT a defense in Florida.

“The consent of the victim may not be raised as a defense in a civil or criminal action brought under this section.” — Florida Statute § 1006.63(6)

This means: Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the hazing is still illegal.
