Piedmont, Alabama School Hazing Breakthrough: The 11th Circuit Ruling and Your Family’s Rights A federal appeals court has just handed a massive victory to survivors of school-based violence in Piedmont, Alabama.

But that culture of “Friday Night Lights” carries a dark side when athletic success is prioritized over the safety of our children. We are currently speaking to families who feel betrayed by the very institutions meant to protect their sons. The recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to revive a lawsuit involving a former Piedmont High School freshman is more than just a legal update; it is a signal that the “code of silence” in locker rooms will no longer be tolerated under federal law. The allegations in this case involve a horrific ritual known as “keying,” where older players allegedly targeted younger teammates for sexual assault.
