LCW Partner Max Sank and Senior Counsel Alison Kalinski secured a workplace violence restraining order for a private school after a parent engaged in escalating, erratic, and threatening conduct toward staff. The parent attended school athletic events in erratic, aggressive, and threatening behavior for no apparent reason. The parent threw water bottles on the court, made offensive and inappropriate gestures towards attendees, engaged in belligerent arguments with both staff and parents, threatened to burn down the school, threatened to have an employee fired, and refused to leave the premises when directed to do so by school security. Based on this conduct, the school informed the parent he was no longer permitted on campus. A few days later, the parent returned to campus despite being instructed not to do so. He spoke to a School employee in a threatening manner and with offensive language and threatened to kill him. On both occasions, there was no apparent cause for the parent’s escalating and threatening conduct and he did not apologize. The parent’s conduct made the school employees fear for their safety and for the school community. Shortly after LCW obtained an initial Temporary Restraining Order for the School, the parent sent extremely violent and vulgar text messages to another school employee. LCW assisted the School in protecting additional employees and their families and obtained a Workplace Violence Restraining Order.
