At 40 days now which has put us now in truancy charge how do I fight this? What can I do? If my daughter is so full of anxiety about school how can they put more on her?
A: To defend this you will be required show proof that the child be given some sort of medical proof of the PTSD, depression etc. This should be provided to the school to ensure they don't continue to bring you before the court. If that is not successful you should get a lawyer and provide them with medical documentation.
