🛡️ Hazing Victims in Faulk County, South Dakota: Your Rights, Your Voice, Your Justice
Attorney 911 — Nationwide Legal Emergency Lawyers™ Serving Faulk County Families
🚨 The Hazing Crisis Has Reached Faulk County
Faulk County families send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust that universities and Greek organizations near Faulk County will protect their students. But every year, students across America — including right here in South Dakota — are subjected to torture disguised as tradition.
This isn’t “boys being boys.” This isn’t “building character.” This is abuse. This is assault. This is hazing.
And if it’s happening to your child at a college near Faulk County, you have legal rights — and we know how to fight for them.
💔 What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Illegal in South Dakota)
Hazing is any activity expected of someone joining a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them — regardless of whether they consent.
In Faulk County and across South Dakota, hazing includes:
- Physical abuse: Beatings, paddling, branding, forced exercise to exhaustion
- Forced consumption: Alcohol, food, or other substances until vomiting or passing out
- Psychological torture: Waterboarding, sleep deprivation, isolation, threats
- Sexual humiliation: Forced nudity, carrying sexual objects, sexual assault
- Extreme servitude: Cleaning, driving members, running errands at all hours
South Dakota law (SDCL § 22-19A-1) makes hazing a criminal offense. It doesn’t matter if the victim “agreed” — consent is not a defense. If your child was hazed near Faulk County, they were a victim of a crime.
🏥 The Medical Reality: Hazing Can Kill
Hazing isn’t just embarrassing — it’s medically dangerous. Students near Faulk County have suffered:
- Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) → kidney failure → hospitalization or death
- Alcohol poisoning → coma → brain damage → death
- Traumatic brain injury → from beatings or falls
- Hypothermia or heat stroke → from forced exposure
- PTSD, anxiety, depression → lasting psychological trauma
Our client in Texas was hospitalized for 4 days with kidney failure after being forced to do 500 squats. Another student collapsed and lost consciousness during hazing. This happens near Faulk County too.
