Lawsuit Eyed In Kids Tossed Off Amtrak Train 600 Miles from Home

[RamboLiberal]

The father whose several children, ages 12 to 15, were removed from an Amtrak train said he's considering filing a lawsuit against the rail carrier.

Peter Sharfin accused Amtrak of overreacting and abusing the children, who booted them out in the dark and 600 miles from home after accusations that one of them stole an iPod.

"I felt like it was child endangerment," he said. "These are children alone at night."

Sharfin said the children didn't know where they were.

Amtrak spokeswoman Vernae Graham said the children "weren't just put off in the middle of nowhere, mind you. They were put off in the custody of the police department."

Remember Amtrak a few weeks ago tossed that elderly diabetic man off a train in a wilderness area and he ran off when police came leading to a hunt to find him. Amtrak is sure screwing up in the PR dept.
