Elena marched into the principal\u2019s office after her seven-year-old daughter, Lily, was hospitalized with a broken arm and concussion. There she found Richard Sterling sitting comfortably while his son, Max, showed no remorse for pushing Lily down the stairs.

Within moments, judicial marshals entered the office, arresting Richard for intimidation, attempted bribery, and helping cover up the assault, while the principal was later investigated for misconduct.<\/p>\n
