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.

Youngstown Hazing Lawsuit: When the School Knew — and What Ohio Law Says About It If your child was hazed on a football team trip — if you are reading this at 2 a.m. because the complaint that just landed in federal court describes things done to a child that no child should survive — you are in the right place.

Youngstown School Hazing Lawsuit: Sexual Assault, CSAM, and Institutional Accountability Under Ohio Law If your child was on that football trip — if you are reading this at 2 a.m. because your son told you what happened to him in a hotel room in Florida or Alabama or Tennessee, and a coach called it “boys being boys” — you are in the right place. What happened to your child was not hazing. It was not a tradition. It was not a rite of passage. It was criminal sexual assault, it was kidnapping, and the recording and sharing of it on Snapchat was the production and dissemination of child sexual abuse material under federal law. The fact that adults who were paid to supervise your child knew about it and failed to stop it — and then dismissed your report with five words that will follow them into a courtroom — is what turns this from a tragedy into a case. We are Attorney911. We handle hazing and institutional sexual abuse cases, and we are currently lead counsel in an active $10 million hazing lawsuit against a fraternity and a major university. That case, like this one, involves a young person…

Youngstown, Ohio School Hazing & Sexual Assault: Title IX, Institutional Liability, and Your Family’s Rights If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because your child came home from a school trip changed — quieter, frightened, angry in ways that do not match the kid you put on that bus — you are in the right place. What happened to your child is not his fault. What the adults around him did with that information is something the law takes seriously. And the fact that you are here, searching, means the failure that started on that trip is about to meet someone who will not let it continue. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC.

Ohio School Hazing & Sexual Assault: What the Law Says When the Adults Who Were Supposed to Protect Your Child Did Nothing You are reading this at a time you never planned for. Something happened to your child at a school you trusted — a school you may have chosen specifically because you believed it would keep him safe. Now there is a lawsuit on the public record, and the details in it are the kind no parent is ever ready to read. A student was hazed. Physically assaulted. Sexually assaulted. And someone recorded it and sent it to other people. The lawsuit says the adults at the school — the principal, the assistant principal, the head football coach, the assistant coaches — learned what happened and did not do what they were supposed to do. The Friday night game got cancelled. The season stopped. And your family is sitting in the middle of something that should never have happened in the first place. We are going to tell you what the law actually says about this — in Ohio, in plain language, without legal jargon designed to make you feel like you need a translator to understand your own…

Youngstown School Hazing Lawsuit: Sexual Abuse, Child Pornography, and the Institution That Knew If your child was sexually abused, physically assaulted, or exploited on a school-sanctioned trip — and the adults who were supposed to protect him did nothing, or worse, covered it up — you are living inside something no parent should have to survive. You are reading this at a hour when the house is quiet and the anger and the grief are the loudest things in the room. We are going to tell you exactly what the law says, what the school is doing right now to slow this down, and what evidence is dying while they do it. A federal lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, before Judge Benita Pearson, alleges that during a June 2025 Ursuline High School football team trip, multiple student-defendants committed hazing, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and the production and distribution of child pornography against a minor identified in court documents as Son Doe. The complaint names the school, the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown, the principal, the assistant principal, three football coaches, and eleven students — and it alleges that high-ranking school officials knew…

Savanna Jones, 18, Died After a Hazing Ritual in a Henderson Hall Dorm Room at Wilberforce University Required Her to Drink an Entire Bottle of Liquor While Resident Assistants Watched — Instead of Seeking Medical Help They Left Her Unconscious After She Vomited, the University’s Dry-Campus Policy Unenforced — Wrongful Death Attorneys at Attorney911 Pursue the University and Its Housing Staff Under Ohio’s Civil Anti-Hazing Law in Wilberforce, Greene County, Ohio, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice and Lead Counsel in the Active $10M+ Campus Hazing Lawsuit, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider, We Preserve the Text Messages, the Circulated Photo, Dorm Access Logs and Toxicology Before the Evidence Window Closes, the Firm Has Recovered Millions in Wrongful-Death Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Hazing Wrongful Death in Wilberforce, Greene County, Ohio — What Ohio Law Lets Your Family Do Your daughter texted her friends that she was scared. She went anyway, because that is what an 18-year-old does when she wants to belong. The people who were supposed to watch over her — the resident assistants, the residence life staff, the campus safety officers at Wilberforce University — were either in the room or should have known what was happening inside it. They watched her drink an entire bottle of liquor as the price of admission to a social club. They watched her vomit. They watched her lose the ability to stand. A photograph of her unconscious on a bed circulated at 10:30 at night. And instead of calling 911, instead of driving her the twenty-five minutes to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, they carried her back to her dorm room and left her there. She died early the next morning. That is what happened. The question now is what Ohio law lets your family do about it. The answer is more than most people realize — and the university and its insurers already know it. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law…

Ohio River Drowning: When Five Lives Are Lost and What the Law Allows You are reading this because someone you love went into an Ohio river and did not come out. Maybe more than one person. Five people died on that river — several of them went in to help someone who was struggling to swim, and the water took them all. You are sitting with a grief that has no shape yet, and someone told you to look into whether there is a legal case. There may be. There may not be. The answer depends on facts that are still sitting at the bottom of a river, in a sheriff’s report that is not finished yet, and in the memories of witnesses who are already starting to forget. What we can tell you right now — before any report is filed, before any adjuster calls, before you make a single decision — is what the law allows, what the evidence requires, and what the insurance company is already doing while you grieve. That is what this page is for. Nothing here is pressure. Everything here is protection. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle wrongful…

Columbus, Ohio PFAS “Forever Chemicals” in Drinking Water: Health Risks, EPA Rules, and Your Legal Rights The city of Columbus is ahead of the curve. While municipal water systems across the country still have a few years before federal rules require them to begin removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — the “forever chemicals” known as PFAS — from drinking water, Columbus’s water plants are reportedly already doing it. A Columbus-based company has expanded its operations to help municipal water systems meet the upcoming compliance deadlines, and the city’s own utilities are not treating the deadline as a crisis. They are treating it as a checkpoint they already passed. That is good news for your tap water today. But it does not close the book on what these chemicals may have already done to the people who drank them, worked with them, or lived near the places that released them — before anyone was testing, before anyone was treating, before anyone was required to tell you what was in the glass. If you are reading this page, you may be someone who was diagnosed with kidney cancer, thyroid disease, or ulcerative colitis and only recently learned that PFAS exposure has been…

PFAS “Forever Chemicals” in Akron, Ohio: What the Science Says, What the Law Allows, and What to Do If You Are Worried You just learned that “forever chemicals” are in the soil and water around Summit County, and a question landed in your chest that will not leave: am I exposed, is my family exposed, and what does that mean for the diseases I already have — or the ones I fear are coming? That is the right question, and you deserve a straight answer before anyone asks you to sign anything. Here is the first piece of good news: Akron’s municipal drinking water, drawn from Lake Rockwell and the Upper Cuyahoga River reservoirs through more than 18,000 acres of protected watershed that the city owns and controls, has been assessed as low risk for PFAS contamination based on EPA sampling. That is not a marketing line from the water bureau — it is a finding from independent analysis of federal sampling data, and it matters. But “low risk in the municipal water” is not the same as “no exposure,” because PFAS are nearly everywhere, and the roads to exposure do not all run through the tap. We are Attorney911…
