Why should she be entitled to recover money because her adult son did something stupid?
My opinion would be different if there were NEVER any acts of hazing that happened before this and he had no idea what was coming; or if something was slipped into his drink and he was, against his free will, unaware of what was happening; or if he was physically forced to do everything he did and could not possibly escape at any time. Is any of that the case here? All I've heard is that he was blindfolded and taken into the woods -- are you telling me that a healthy adult male couldn't have put the smackdown on anybody trying to blindfold him if he really didn't want to participate?
Yes, this is a tragedy and things like this should never happen again. Yes, these guys were assholes and they should've done something to help him when he was unconscious. However, parents blaming the fraternities is ridiculous. I'm sure my position is unpopular, but holy hell people should take responsibility for themselves and stop blaming others for their actions.

Wow. This is quite a statement.
Was this Young Man an Adult. Yes, but by law because of age, not His Mothers teachings. Being of state legal age does not make him a true adult nor does it excuse the members of the GLO from what happened does it?
Yes, you are correct, people should take the blame for their actions from both sides of the coin.
Is it a tragidy, hell yes it is. So, whose fault is it.
The mother who sent her son off to college or the members of the GLO that he joined to not be more responsible to protect him from harms way.
Adults, that is a very good question. Legal or maturity is the call it seems here.
