Trey Oldham)： Toldham@brazoscountytx.gov 或 (979) 361-4900 调查员戴维·格里森 (Investigator David Grissom)： DGrissom@brazoscountytx.gov 或 (979) 361-4900 执法部门已正式将此事件定性为严重的欺凌事件，并有很大的可能对涉案人员提出刑事指控。 德州农工大学调查： 学生事务部正在就可能违反《学生行为准则》的行为进行并行调查。 大学已公开承诺将全力配合所有执法调查。 德州农工大学警察局已正式接到事件通知。 大学警察可直接拨打 (979) 845-2345 联系。 调查仍在进行中，可能会对个人和兄弟会处以大学层面的制裁。 1.6 官方声明和当前制裁 德州农工大学声明：“德州农工大学明确不容忍欺凌行为，并对所有欺凌指控都予以最严肃对待。学生事务部已充分知晓最近报告的欺凌指控。这些指控正在接受彻底调查，以查明是否违反了《学生行为准则》。大学将全力配合所有与这些指控相关的执法调查。鉴于调查正在进行中，我们目前无法分享更多细节。” 卡帕西格玛全国联谊会声明：“卡帕西格玛联谊会充分知晓涉及我们德州农工大学分会成员的一起令人深感担忧的事件。任何被发现违反联谊会行为准则（明确严格禁止欺凌）的成员都将承担责任。鉴于正在进行的彻底调查结果，我们在德州农工大学的分会活动立即暂停。” 德州农工大学卡帕西格玛分会已有的制裁：根据德州农工大学官方网站，卡帕西格玛联谊会在此次严重事件发生之前已经受到以下制裁： 主要制裁： 组织行为缓刑，有效期至 2025 年 12 月 12 日。 次要制裁： 强制酒精教育，要求于 2025 年 10 月 3 日前完成。 次要制裁： 强制过渡研讨会，要求于 2025 年 10 月 1 日前完成。 这份有记录的制裁历史强烈暗示，该组织存在持续的不当行为模式，遗憾的是，这些行为早于 2025 年 9 月发生的灾难性欺凌事件。 1.7 受害者的勇敢声明 尽管恐吓行动持续不断，至少有一名受害者勇敢地选择公开发表声明，展现了卓越的勇气，旨在保护未来的新兵免受类似伤害： “如果什么都不改变，就一定会有人死去。最重要的是，这种事情绝不能再发生。” 这一深刻声明不仅揭示了受害者对所发生事件危及生命性质的深刻认识，也表达了他无私地决心挺身而出、冒着个人风险发声的意愿，这种情绪在地球地区的家庭中引起了强烈共鸣。 第二部分：全面了解欺凌及其影响 2.1 欺凌的全面定义 对于地球地区居民来说，理解欺凌的法律和实践定义对于识别和预防此类危险活动至关重要。 法律定义（德州教育法）：欺凌是指一个人单独或与他人一起，蓄意、知情或鲁莽地针对学生、危害学生身心健康或安全的行为，无论发生在校内或校外，旨在宣誓、入会、隶属、担任职务或维持组织成员身份。这种宽泛的定义涵盖了广泛的有害行为。 实践定义：在实践中，欺凌是指任何加入团体（或保持团体地位）的人所期望的行为，这种行为具有羞辱、贬低、虐待或导致情感和/或身体伤害风险的性质，无论当事人是否愿意参与。这是一个复杂的社会问题，其根本原因在于团体和组织内部存在的严重权力动态，往往利用脆弱性和渴望归属感的心理。 德州农工大学定义：德州农工大学明确将欺凌定义为：“任何加入或隶属于某个团体的人所期望的活动，无论当事人是否愿意参与，只要其造成或构成身体或心理伤害（羞辱、贬低、虐待或危及）的风险。”这一定义与州法律相符，并强调了大学对组织负责的承诺。 2.2 欺凌行为的类别 欺凌表现形式多样，其中许多往往被忽视或正常化。对于地球地区的家庭来说，认识这些类别是预防和保护的第一步。 身体欺凌： 任何形式的身体虐待，包括但不限于：鞭打、殴打、撞击、烙印、电击或在身体上施加有害物质。 导致睡眠剥夺、过度暴露于恶劣环境或被限制在狭小、不舒适空间的行为。 极度体能训练或其他形式的体育活动，使个人面临不合理伤害风险，尤其是在被迫或长时间进行的情况下。 强迫饮用食物、液体、酒精饮料、药物或任何其他物质，通常是过量或危险的剂量。 任何不利于学生身心健康或安全的活动，无论其表面意图如何。 心理欺凌： 任何可能损害个人尊严或导致深刻尴尬或羞耻的行为。 导致某人成为恶意取乐、嘲笑或残酷恶作剧的对象。 导致严重心理伤害或巨大情感压力的活动。 恐吓策略、明确或暗示的威胁以及极度的精神压力。 羞辱仪式或公然劝退学生留在教育机构的活动。 德州农工大学指南中的示例，这些同样适用于所有高等院校，对地球地区的家庭来说至关重要： 强迫新招募者进行“证明”活动，以赢得他们在团体中的地位。 强制或胁迫饮酒至醉酒程度。 要求吃辛辣食物或其他不寻常的物质，通常是大量或以不卫生的方式混合。 要求忍受长时间睡眠剥夺、不合理的琐碎任务、过度体力劳动或蒙眼长时间跑步等困境。 羞辱或强迫隔离新成员或潜在成员。 殴打、打屁股或任何其他旨在造成疼痛或恐惧的身体行为。 要求新成员执行或忍受现有成员不要求执行或忍受的任务或条件，这突出显示了明显的权力不平衡。 胁迫学生从事非法活动，例如在寻宝游戏中偷窃物品，这会带来严重的法律和个人风险。 2.3 欺凌的“隐性伤害”和长期影响 对于地球地区家庭来说，了解欺凌的伤害远远超出可见的伤口至关重要。“隐性伤害”可能会持续多年，影响受害者生活的方方面面。 即时身体后果： 急性疲劳、使人衰弱的头痛、宿醉、严重疾病和身体伤害，包括割伤、瘀伤，甚至骨折。 危及生命的状况，如横纹肌溶解症、酒精中毒和极度脱水。 潜在的永久性残疾和需要终身管理的慢性健康状况。 对全面医疗治疗和广泛康复的即时和持续需求。 心理和情感创伤：欺凌造成的创伤可能并非总是立即可见；它可能在数月、数年甚至数十年后才显现。常见的衰弱反应包括： 深刻的愤怒、 disorientation、背叛感、强烈恐惧和深深的怨恨。 压倒性的尴尬、持续的羞辱、无望感和无助感。 慢性焦虑、临床抑郁症和影响日常功能的持续情感困扰。 在严重情况下，个人出现自杀倾向，这凸显了极端的心理代价。…

Attorney911 In The News: City Illegally Tears Down Precious Piece of Black History

On this last day of Black History Month, the descendants of Texas City slaves turned  landowners, are blasting the city and its first black mayor for illegally demolishing an  irreplaceable piece of Black heritage. “I was starting to cry. I was choking back tears,” says  Charlesa Gary, president of the African American Historical Preservation Committee in Texas  City. She was watching their historical school auditorium of the first black school being torn  down, days before the scheduled court hearing to protect it.   Click here for link to original article on Houston Public Media Vera Bell Gary is the proud 97-year-old granddaughter of Texas City slaves from the mid  1800’s. She’s furious with Mayor Dedrick Johnson. “I felt like crying I almost cursed that man  out.”   Vera says Mayor Johnson, straight up, asked her to give away her grandfather’s land. How could  he dare to take away her family’s heritage? “Four men were brave enough to save their money.  They were getting paid then after they were free. They saved their money to invest in this 230  acres.”   The Bell family wouldn’t give up the property. They planned to renovate the auditorium into a  community center and the city knew that. But the city demolished their building right out from  under them. “So much history was lost that day,” says Charlesa Gary. Precious history. Gone  forever.   Attorney Ralph Manginello represents the preservation committee in a lawsuit against the city. “The city of Texas city and the mayor decided to just violate…

What Questions Are Asked in a Car Accident Deposition?

In a car accident deposition, the questions asked by the attorneys vary depending on the particular facts of the accident and who is being deposed. A car accident deposition is a legal proceeding in which the parties and/or witnesses give sworn testimony about their version of the accident. Depositions are an essential part of the discovery phase of a car accident case, where each side obtains information from the other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_qCwqfeRRs Depositions are taken by attorneys for both parties and can be used as evidence for trial. The purpose of a deposition is to find out what happened during the accident and for both sides to investigate potential evidence that either helps or hurts their arguments. No matter who is being deposed, attorneys for both sides will be able to ask the witness questions. What questions do they ask a witness in a car accident deposition? Generally, the questions they ask a witness in a car accident deposition fall into three basic categories: The witness’ personal backgroundDetails about the accidentThe victim’s car accident injuries and medical treatment Personal Background Typically, a deposition will begin with questions about the witness’s personal background to identify information such as: Name Date of birthContact informationEducational historyFamily situationLiving arrangementsMedical historyEmployment historyCriminal historyPrevious lawsuits or legal claims If the witness being deposed was not involved in the accident but simply eyewitnessed it, the attorneys will still ask for some information about their personal background.

Are Personal Injury Lawyers Worth It?

In my experience, accident victims who choose to work with a personal injury lawyer obtain a more favorable settlement than victims who do not have legal representation. Although you might think you can handle your claim on your own, hiring an experienced personal injury attorney will considerably improve your chances of receiving maximum compensation for the injuries you have suffered.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDptORwY6Pk What are the benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer? There are various financial and other  benefits to hiring a personal injury lawyer.  Here is a quick guide. Higher Settlements Statistics show that victims who hire personal injury lawyers usually receive higher settlements. Represented accident victims typically walk away with a much better settlement than they would have received without an attorney, even after paying their legal fees. Personal injury lawyers are uniquely equipped to handle these types of cases, which typically translates into more favorable settlements. Defendants also take cases more seriously when victims are represented by reputable personal injury attorneys. Experience in Dealing With Personal Injury Cases Personal injury lawyers handle these types of cases every day. This extensive experience means that personal injury attorneys have a thorough comprehension of the personal injury claim process and the legal theories involved in successfully arguing a personal injury case. Personal injury lawyers also have encountered many insurance company defense strategies and have likely devised their own methods of dealing with their deceptive tactics.  Professional Negotiation Skills Personal injury lawyers are also skilled and trained negotiators, which means they are…

Can a Car Accident Cause Occipital Neuralgia?

A car accident can cause occipital neuralgia when it results in a head or neck injury. Occipital neuralgia is a medical condition where the nerves that run through your scalp, known as the occipital nerves, become injured or inflamed. This causes you to suffer headaches that feel like extreme piercing, throbbing, or shock-like pain in your upper neck, the back of your head, or behind your ears.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydJ51sK_8Hk You can also experience pain behind your eye on the affected side of your head. Patients often describe the pain as migraine-like.  Some people report experiencing cluster headaches.  What is the average payout for a head injury? There is no “average” payout for a head injury, as settlement amounts will vary widely.  It not only depends on the seriousness of the injury and its long-term effects on your life, but it also depends on who the defendant is and their insurance coverage. The minimum auto insurance policy in Texas is $30,000.  Commercial vehicles require a lot more. Head injuries range from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) resulting in cognitive impairment, memory loss, and altered behavior. Given the broad spectrum of head injuries that a car accident victim can suffer, settlements for these types of injuries can range from thousands to millions. In head injury cases, there are two categories of compensable losses, also known as “damages.” Economic damages are quantifiable losses caused by the injury, whereas non-economic damages are are more subjective and not easily quantifiable.  Some common examples…
