Q: If a college refuses to show evidence on brining up cyber bullying case against my son, what can I do?
A: I am sure the college has some procedures and rules in place for handling disciplinary matters, if this is being handled as a school disciplinary or expulsion matter. If campus police are involved, then it is a criminal matter that will be handled through the local prosecutor's office in court, with formal charges filed with the state. You need to clarify which type of proceeding this is, but in either case, they are unlikely to reveal their investigatory files until they are prepared to proceed with charges of other action. Usually at that point, rules are in place for obtaining the evidence supporting the case against the accused. Your child is entitled to a lawyer. It may be wise to retain one now.
