Student's suicide ruled 'unforeseeable and extraordinary' but not result of negligence

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found the Ontario-Montclair School District cted appropriately in disciplining four students who skipped school to attend an immigration rally, even though one boy was so traumatized by threatened punishments that he committed suicide.

The ruling upheld a federal judge's 2007 dismissal of a civil-rights lawsuit filed by Anthony Soltero's parents, Louise Corales and Jamie Soltero, and one of the other students, alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress. Anthony and three other DeAnza Middle School students skipped class to join a 2006 rally against federal legislation that would have criminalized helping illegal immigrants.

DeAnza Middle School Vice Principal Gene Bennett lectured the young teenagers, warning that they could go to Juvenile Hall for three years and expose their parents to monetary fines. Anthony Soltero, then a 14-year-old eighth-grader, shot himself to death with his stepfather's rifle.
