🚨 Hazing Victims in Huron County, Ohio — You Are Not Alone

Huron County families: If your child has been hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization near Huron County, you have legal rights. And you have powerful allies in the fight for justice.

At Attorney 911, we are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston — a case that has exposed waterboarding, forced eating, extreme physical abuse, and institutional failure. This isn’t just happening in Texas. The same fraternities operate at universities near Huron County. The same negligence exists at Huron County institutions. And we will fight for Huron County families with the same aggression we’re bringing to this landmark case.

Huron County parents: Your child trusted these organizations. They trusted the university. They trusted that these institutions would keep them safe. That trust was betrayed. We understand the pain. We understand the rage. And we are here to turn that pain and rage into accountability.

🔥 This Is What Hazing Looks Like in Huron County

It’s not “tradition.” It’s not “building brotherhood.” It’s abuse.

Hazing in Huron County and across Ohio takes many forms:

• Physical abuse: Beatings, paddling, branding, forced exercise to exhaustion
• Forced consumption: Alcohol binge drinking, eating until vomiting, consuming non-food substances
• Psychological torture: Humiliation, degradation, verbal abuse, threats of expulsion
• Sleep deprivation: Late-night activities, early-morning demands, disrupted sleep
• Dangerous activities: Waterboarding, extreme weather exposure, confined spaces
• Sexual abuse: Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects

The consequences are real and devastating:

• Rhabdomyolysis — muscle breakdown leading to kidney failure (like our current client)
• Alcohol poisoning — potentially fatal
• Traumatic brain injury — from beatings or falls
• Hypothermia or heat stroke — from exposure
• PTSD, anxiety, depression — long-term psychological damage
• Death — too many families in Ohio have lost children to hazing

Huron County families: If your child has experienced any of this, we can help.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Huron County Hazing Victim

Ohio law protects hazing victims. Under Ohio Revised Code § 2903.31, hazing is a criminal offense — and it gives rise to civil liability as well.

Ohio Hazing Law — What You Need to Know

Definition of Hazing (ORC § 2903.31):

Hazing means doing any act or coercing another to do any act that causes or creates a substantial risk of causing mental or physical harm to any person for the purpose of initiation or admission into any organization.

This includes:

• Physical brutality
• Extreme exercise
• Forced consumption of alcohol or drugs
• Sleep deprivation
• Any activity that risks mental or physical harm

Criminal Penalties:

• Fourth-degree misdemeanor — up to 30 days in jail, $250 fine
• First-degree misdemeanor — if the victim is under 18 or the hazing creates a substantial risk of physical harm
• Third-degree felony — if the hazing results in serious physical harm

Civil Liability:

• Victims can sue for compensatory damages (medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages)
• Victims can sue for punitive damages (to punish the wrongdoers)
• Organizations can be held vicariously liable for the actions of their members

Consent is NOT a defense — even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says consent does not matter.

🏛️ Who Is Liable for Huron County Hazing?

When hazing occurs, multiple parties can be held legally responsible. In our current $10 million case, we are suing:

• The local fraternity chapter — for directly organizing and conducting hazing
• The national fraternity organization — for failing to supervise and prevent hazing
• The university — for failing to protect students despite knowing hazing was happening
• Individual members — for participating in or facilitating hazing
• Housing corporations — for allowing hazing on their property

This same liability framework applies to Huron County cases.

🎯 The Huron County Hazing Crisis — Why This Matters to Your Family

Hazing isn’t just happening in Texas. It’s happening in Ohio. It’s happening near Huron County. And it’s happening to students just like yours.

The Reality of Hazing in Ohio:

• Ohio has some of the strongest anti-hazing laws in the nation — yet hazing continues
• Bowling Green State University — site of the $10.1 million Stone Foltz settlement
• Ohio State University — large Greek system with hazing risks
• Multiple Ohio universities — have suspended or disciplined Greek organizations for hazing

The Culture of Silence:

Hazing thrives in secrecy. Victims often don’t report because:

• They fear retaliation from the organization
• They feel shame or embarrassment
• They don’t recognize it as hazing
• They feel loyalty to the group
• They fear social ostracism

Huron County families: If your child is being hazed, they may not tell you. Look for warning signs.

Warning Signs Your Child Is Being Hazed:

• Sudden changes in behavior or mood
• Unexplained injuries or bruises
• Withdrawal from friends and family
• Drop in academic performance
• Secretive behavior about social activities
• Excessive fatigue or sleep deprivation
• Sudden weight loss or gain
• Anxiety or depression
• Avoidance of certain people or places
• Mention of “traditions” or “pledge activities”
