When the School You Trusted Fails Your Child: The Ursuline Hazing Lawsuit You are sitting at your kitchen table at two in the morning, and you just read the headline. A second former Ursuline High School football player has joined a federal lawsuit alleging a culture of hazing and sexual abuse going back to at least 2022. The attorney for the victims says his office has more than a dozen videos of players filming the abuse of multiple teammates. And the allegation that stops your heart: when the principal was presented with videos of assault and child pornography, his response was to tell students to destroy the evidence and keep quiet. Your child played football at Ursuline. Or your child is there now. Or your child knows someone on that team. And the question that is keeping you awake is the one no parent should ever have to ask: was my child one of them — and who is going to be held accountable for what happened? We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes catastrophic injury and institutional accountability cases, and right now we are lead counsel in an active hazing lawsuit — a $10 million case against a university fraternity. We know this fight.

Five men indicted by grand jury in connection with Southern University student Caleb Wilson’s hazing death – The Advocate

Baton Rouge Fraternity Hazing Death: What the Grand Jury Indictments Mean for a Civil Case If your family is reading this, you already know what happened. A 20-year-old Kenner native — a trumpet player in Southern University’s Human Jukebox marching band — is dead after a fraternity ritual in a warehouse off Greenwell Springs Road. An East Baton Rouge Parish grand jury has returned a 56-count indictment against five men. The District Attorney has said publicly that the evidence is substantial, that anyone who sees it will be angry, and that this young man died because of what was done to him. That is the criminal case. It matters. It matters a great deal. But it is not the case that pays your family for what was taken. That is a separate case — a civil case — and it is running on a clock that is shorter than most families in your position ever realize. Louisiana gives you one year. We are going to walk you through every layer of what that means, who can be held responsible beyond the five indicted men, what evidence is already disappearing, what the medicine says about the minutes that were lost, and what a case like this is worth. This page is legal information, not legal advice. But it is written by a trial team that knows this fight — because we are fighting it right now in another hazing case. The Criminal Indictments Are a Roadmap — Not the Destination A…

Youngstown, Ohio School Hazing & Sexual Assault Lawsuit: What Families Need to Know About Title IX, Ohio Anti-Hazing Law, and Holding Schools Accountable You are sitting at a kitchen table in Youngstown at two in the morning, and your child is asleep down the hall — or not sleeping, which is its own kind of telling — and you are trying to understand how the school you trusted with your son turned a football trip into the worst thing that has ever happened to your family. The phone call from the coach was bad enough. The silence from the administration was worse. Now you are reading about a federal lawsuit filed by families using the names “Doe” and “Roe” because what happened to their children is too devastating to attach their real names to, and you are wondering whether what happened to your child is the same thing, and whether anyone will ever be held responsible for it. We are Attorney911. We handle school-liability cases involving hazing and sexual assault, and we are writing this page for you — the parent who needs to understand, in plain language, what the law actually says, what the school is actually doing behind the scenes, and what your options actually are. We are not the lawyers on the Ursuline case you may have read about. But we are currently lead counsel in an active hazing lawsuit — a $10 million case against a university fraternity in Harris County, Texas — and the law…

Baton Rouge Hazing Death: What Happened at That Warehouse, Who Is Responsible, and What Your Family Must Do Before the Evidence Is Gone Your son went to college to play his trumpet.

Alabama School Hazing & Sexual Assault Lawyer — When a School Fails Your Child at Football Camp You are reading this because your child went to football camp with a school you trusted, and something happened in an Alabama hotel room that no child should ever survive. Maybe you found out from your child directly. Maybe you found out because someone showed you a video that was circulating on social media. Maybe you are still trying to understand how a school-sponsored trip turned into the worst night of your family’s life. We want you to hear this first, clearly, before anything else: what happened to your child was not their fault. It was not a prank. It was not “boys being boys.” It was not hazing that “went too far.” It was a criminal sexual assault and a hazing violation, and the law treats it with the utmost seriousness. The school that transported your child across state lines and put them in that hotel room owed them a duty of supervision that did not disappear when they crossed into Alabama. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC — and we handle school hazing and sexual assault cases in Alabama. Ralph Manginello has spent 27 years in courtrooms, including federal court, and is currently lead counsel in an active $10 million hazing lawsuit against a university and a fraternity.

Flagstaff, Arizona: An 18-Year-Old Is Gone After a Fraternity Rush Event — What the Family Needs to Know Now Your son went to a rush event on a Friday night at a fraternity house near Pine Knoll Drive and Lone Tree Road, just south of the Northern Arizona University campus. By Saturday morning, someone at that house was performing CPR. By the time Flagstaff police arrived just before 9 a.m., he was not breathing. First responders could not bring him back. He was 18 years old. We are not going to pretend we know what this feels like from the inside. We do know what happens next — because we have spent years inside the machinery that follows a death like this, including the active hazing litigation we are currently pursuing against a university and a fraternity in Texas. We know what the fraternity’s insurance company is already doing. We know what evidence is already disappearing. And we know that the choices a family makes in the first weeks after a hazing death can be the difference between accountability and silence. Three members of Delta Tau Delta’s executive board — the New Member Educator, the Vice President, and the Treasurer — have been arrested and booked into the Coconino County Detention Facility on hazing-related charges. The university has placed the chapter on interim suspension. The Coconino County Medical Examiner is working to determine the official cause of death. Those are the facts that are public. What is not public yet…

That is the sentence no parent is prepared to hear, and the one you are living inside right now. An 18-year-old Northern Arizona University student — someone’s child, someone’s friend, a young person with a full life ahead of him — was found unresponsive at a house on South Pinegrove Road on the morning of January 31, 2026, and was pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of police and paramedics. He had attended a rush event the night before for the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Alcohol was consumed. Three fraternity executive board members were arrested on suspicion of criminal hazing.

We are writing this page for one person: the family member searching at a kitchen table or on a phone in a hospital hallway, trying to understand what happened and what can be done about it.
