One of the names appearing on the ballot is getting attention for suing two 6-year-old boys. She claims they were bullying her son at school. KPBS investigative reporter clairetrageser looks into the unusual case.
Neither Bruce-Lane nor her husband ever attempted to contact the mothers of the boys before filing the lawsuit, said Douglas Jaffe, an attorney for Dima Saab, one of the mothers being sued.
The reason to include the six-year-olds in the lawsuits is because otherwise, the damages would be capped at $25,000, said, a San Diego attorney and mediator. In addition, that money would have to cover actual medical or hospital expenses. A court could place a judgment on the boys so that when they do have their own money they’d have to pay, but the boys could also declare bankruptcy now to avoid paying in the future.In September 2021, the San Diego French American School and Rosenblum asked the court to seal the records using the boys’ full names and that all future court filings only use their initials.
“Whether that's going to have any impact on them, I have no idea, whether psychologically or legally or professionally,” he said.
