Teenager with seizures kept from school?

Published

I am in the process of finding a renter for a home I own. It's almost similar to triaging patients in the ER. You have to sift through a lot of bogus stories, and plate after plate heaped with B.S.. You hear tales of woe and desperation.

Today I showed the place To a single mother of 3 teenage boys. She is living in a town over a 1/2 hour away and is trying to find a house in my town where she has already put them in school.

She generally seems like a solid prospect, but when I asked her about why she chose to put her boys here, she told me that her oldest son had a seizure at school and she was told by the school that it is too great a liability risk for the school to allow him to continue attending.

I'm smelling a rat with this story. Any feedback from school nurses would be welcome.

She said she had a 15, 18, and 19 year old. I found her on Facebook, and found her sons on her friend list, then looked them up on the state court website.

Lol, just using information freely available to the public to protect my investment from problems. Call it a 'need to know' situation...

I may be overly cynical and jaded, but the only way I see this happening is if the school determined that an empty or partially empty container of unprescribed drugs was found next to him during the "seizure."

I'm betting the 'seizure' was just a handy made-up excuse for the renter, who prob didn't know that OP was a nurse.

Those 'teens' are also old enough to be considered adults. So there might just be some nasty history assoc with them in their last community.

There's more to the story - no need for OP to take on any rental headaches.
