Bowling Green, Ohio Fraternity Hazing Death: What the Family of a Hazing Victim Needs to Know Right Now If you are reading this because someone you love was hurt or killed in a fraternity hazing incident at Bowling Green State University — or anywhere in Ohio — you are in a moment that no family should ever have to live through. You are standing in the wreckage of a promise that was made to your child and broken in the worst way possible. A university was supposed to educate them. A fraternity was supposed to brotherhood them. Instead, an organization that publishes words like “zero-tolerance” let a ritual built on coerced alcohol consumption take your child’s life. We are going to tell you the truth about what happened, what the law says about it, and what you can do — because the truth is the one thing the fraternity’s lawyers are already working to make sure you never fully hear. Hazing is not an accident. It is not a tradition that went too far. It is a preventable act of organizational recklessness, and Ohio law gives families specific civil remedies to hold the people who permitted it fully accountable. My…

It’s understanding how so many people and institutions let it happen, and whether the law can hold any of them accountable. It can. Ohio has a statute written specifically for this.

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…

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.

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…

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…
