We accomplished alot today, saw a lawyer and met with the building Owners. Sad part is there is not alot we can do about getting the dog out of the building, since the owners of the building, were not aware of this being a vicious dog, BUT now that they have been made aware,if someone else is hurt, or another animal is attacked, they know they will be liable and could be sued. So we are pretty confident, that they dont want that to happen, and will tell the owners of the dog, that he has to go. I only pray it is before wed. so we can bring my son home, without the threat of running into this dog, and he can relax.
There is a court date in May, with animal control, where these ppl will be made accountable for there dog. We have been told it is not a big deal and they will only be charged with a $50.00 fine, but we decided to press it, and make these owners have to stand there in front of everyone, and be shamed, for there actions. |
soooo glad to hear your son is coming home!!! that's great news!!!
on another note, i think that you might want to contact the D.A.'s office at the least to see if you can press charges against the owner of the dog under these circumstances. if i am remembering correctly, the person shoved your son and also prevented him from being helped by the other neighbor. that sounds like a sufficient level of participation to warrant more than a $50 fine. it's at least a battery.
also, sometimes lawyers don't know always know what they're talking about, so if the lawyer you consulted said it wasn't a big deal, i would immediately get some referrals and contact several more. almost all of them will do a free consultation and you can at least get a consensus on the law in that area. this just sounds like a very minimal response to such a serious situation.
keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers....
