Here’s a case where litigation is richly deserved. A parent of an autistic child “became suspicious [about the competence of her child’s therapist] and checked the online registry for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. She could not find certification records for [Stacy] Lore. It took months for school and police officials to act, she said. [Lore worked for the Norwalk schools.]”
You sue for damages; and you sue to scare other school districts, so they won’t be tempted to blow off the business of checking credentials. It took this parent seconds to confirm that Lore was a fraud.
Lore has been sentenced to three years in prison.
