Do I have a case?

On Friday August 13th I sent my child off to school with his morning transportation driver that is provided by his school. Through an app I able to view his route and receive notifications when he arrives to school. This is the same process for his return to home. It wasn’t until he arrived home that I noticed my mentally/behaviorally challenged child was in a disturbing mood. In order to not cause a meltdown I had to give him his space and time before I could get out of him why he was in that mood. He then informed me in the morning he was in a car accident with his driver. I was shocked and right away checked him, then called his doctor. While waiting for the doctor to give me a call back if I need to have him checked I called the school to find out why I was not called. Since they did not answer I wrote them an email. It wasn’t until 6pm Friday night that I received a call informing me they were so sorry they forgot to call me…. There’s much more!
