I sorry to hear that this happened to your daughter. The Claire Davis School Safety Act, enacted in 2017, allows parents to sue schools for failing to protect students from "reasonably foreseeable" acts of violence, establishing a statutory obligation for schools to be vigilant about bullying and take preventive measures. Though the Act has clear provisions for severe violent acts, its coverage of bullying remains to be fully elucidated through ongoing legal cases in Grand Junction and Arapahoe County, which challenge schools' liability in bullying scenarios under the Act.

Moreover, parents can also sue the bullies parents under Colorado’s Parental Responsibility Statutes. This statute allows for parents to be sued for damages caused by their minor children, often seen in vandalism cases, but is also applicable to bullying scenarios.

Our attorney wrote an article and recorded a video on this issue, "Seeking Justice for Colorado’s Children: Compensation and Relief for Bullied Kids."
