I'd sue. There is too much jeopardy for her, from losing her licenses to the trauma they suffered. Plus, revelation of her medical condition should have been private. This will impact her efforts to get another job.

I would not be able to do those physical tests, even though I don't drive and drink. While reading the story, I was picturing how awful she must have felt. Also, it was the cops' fault that the kid was running around the parking lot, not hers. She couldn't have moved anywhere to get him for fear the cops might shoot her. So, THEY endangered the kid.

I don't see why she shouldn't sue the cops plus the daycare. Surely, she is not going to return to that particular daycare, anyway. If she doesn't want to put them out of business, have them write her an apology. She doesn't have to sue those defendants; she can just sue the cops.

Stuff like this just infuriates me. I think you can go almost 24 hours before you start hallucinating. I, myself, ahem, can go 33 hours. But after that, I am unconscious. She went to work 41 hours in 3 days--wow. A good mom, doing all the right things: a job, daycare, shopping. And, then this.

She should sue for false arrest and defamation. They have a lot of explaining to do. Fix it so she doesn't have to work 41 hours in 3 days.
