Who really is the lead Plantiff?
Anonymous:
I may have an idea how this 'lead plaintiff' thing got started.
Some time back, I received an email, as did a number of others it was cc'd to, stating we had been chosen as lead plaintiff's in the pending class action. Ryan was on of the people who received this, just judging from the cc list.
So, I'm guessing, if he has the idea he is to be a lead plaintiff, this would be why.
This email did not originate from the firm; and I think possibly was the result of some confusion - but I'm not certain of how much confusion, if any; As I myself am not certain of how all this works.
I agree with those above who say it matters not - A class action will be filed, and as always in such cases, its the law firm that will most profit - and thats fine and dandy with me.
The reason for this action from the point of view of the plaintiffs is primarily to shine a light, on this evil that has been festering hidden for far to long. To get it stopped and penalized to such a degree, no one will be tempted to try and perpetrate such evil again.

It really doesnt matter about a lead plaintiff or not, bottom line is we want them to make WWASPS accountable. I am certainly not cutting up Ryan F. , but the point is very well taken, he is not credible. For his sake, I hope he gets what he wants out of life.

What about holding the parents accountable? They're the ones signing away the rights of their own children only to cry foul months and years after the fact.

Well, you see, it's like this. The parents are, generally speaking, stupid fruitloops rather than actually malicious.
The industry is a pack of cons preying on the stupid fruitloops.
In other cases where we have cons preying on the stupid fruitloops of the country, we generally don't punish the stupid fruitloops, but the cons that prey on them.
If stupidity were a crime, half the human race would be in prison.
We can't cure stupidity, nor can we protect the stupid from themselves. Unfortunately, it is also extremely difficult to protect children from stupid parents.
What we can do is periodically weed out the population of con-men preying on the stupid and making the damages resulting from the stupidity an order of magnitude worse.
*That* is why the enforcement needs to be directed at the racket, not the parents.
