Well... this isn't the first time this case graced the public's reading roster. Previously, a lawsuit was filed against Tranquility Bay on behalf of the adolescent in question, Isaac Hersh. That suit was filed by friends and family which, incidentally, did
not include his parents. After all, they sent him away in the first place, and were, apparently, quite unapologetic about said decision.
The case first splashed 'cross the New York papers in late March of 2008. At the time, there was even (very) brief mention of it in
The New York Times:
