545 - Parents need to know their rights

Everyday something new arises that reminds me why I'm on this mission.

I mentioned before that the list of life events is long.

People are moving all over the country. I can protect them no matter what state they're traveling through or live in.

This member got great advice when a new kindergarten wasn't forthright with information they needed.

Here is the event in their own words:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We have a history of bad reactions to vaccines in my family, so my son was on a delayed immunization schedule - he'd be up-to-date once he was over 40 lbs.

I knew the rules in CA, but not in our new home state of TX.

Registering him for Kinder went smoothly until the clerk saw his shot-records weren't complete and told me my son couldn’t go to school there.

I asked what I could do and her answer was nothing.

So, I called LegalShield to learn my options.

I could have wasted hours on Google, but why when I get unlimited calls to my law firm free?

An attorney called back in 20 minutes and happened to be going through the same thing with his daughter in another county.

He spent 30 minutes on the phone with me -- he explained my rights, the district's rights, emailed me the affidavit I needed and gave me the address for a nearby in-network lawyer who could review my completed affidavit and notarize it.

Got all that done in 90 minutes then headed back to the school.

When I handed the notarized affidavit to the person who told me my son could not attend there without shots, she replied, 'Oh yes, we have a bunch of these on file - you're all set.'

I just thanked her and left... but was reminded that if we don't KNOW what our rights are, we don't have any." -- Another Happy Member

I couldn't have said it better.

If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.
