Connie and Carl Scott supported their fifteen-year-old daughter's decision to have an abortion. But the girl's boyfriend and his family tried to stop her. After a confrontation at the Scott's home, the boyfriend was arrested.

Several hours later, police took the girl into protective custody. A judge allowed her to return to her parents "on the condition that no abortion shall be performed on the subject's unborn child without further order of the Court."

This is the Scott family's complaint against the county, various law officials and the boyfriend's family.

FACTS

15.  In September 1994, plaintiff [redacted] Scott, who at the 
time was 15 years old, became aware that she was pregnant. 
[redacted] had not questioned the absence of her menstrual 
period immediately, because her periods were consistently 
irregular.  On Monday, September 26, she informed her 
parents, plaintiffs Connie and Carl Scott, that she was 
pregnant as a result of sexual relations with her boyfriend 
[redacted].  Together the plaintiffs decided to have [redacted] 
consult a physician and to consider her options. 

16.  Defendants [redacted] and his mother and stepfather 
Kathy and John Tull had become aware of the pregnancy on 
the afternoon of September 26 because Kathy had [redacted] 
take two home pregnancy tests at the Tulls' house.  Later that 
evening, Kathy and John Tull made an unsolicited visit to the 
Scotts' home.  The Tulls informed the Scotts of their desire to 
help raise [redacted] child, even though [redacted] had not yet 
decided whether or not she would carry her pregnancy to term.  

17.  On Tuesday, September 27, plaintiff [redacted] Scott was 
examined by Dr. Carol Weckmuller at the Blair Medical 
Group.  The family's regular doctor was on vacation at the 
time. [redacted] was accompanied by her mother Connie 
Scott.  Based on a physical examination, Dr. Weckmuller 
informed [redacted] and Connie Scott that she estimated that 
[redacted] was twenty-three weeks pregnant.  Dr. Weckmuller 
advised [redacted] where she could get an abortion, should 
that be her choice. [redacted] Scott informed defendant Kathy 
Tull, by telephone, of the developments that day. 

18.  On Wednesday, September 28, [redacted] spoke at length 
with her family about her options.  After extensive 
deliberation, [redacted] decided to seek an abortion. 

19.  On Wednesday, September 28, [redacted] made an 
appointment by telephone for an abortion.  During the phone 
call, [redacted] spoke to a clinic employee, who asked her a 
series of questions and then explained the abortion procedure 
to her.  Connie Scott also talked to the employee and gave her 
additional information. [redacted] then spoke again with the 
clinic employee, who asked again whether [redacted] really 
wanted an abortion. [redacted] replied yes, and scheduled an 
appointment. 

20.  Early that evening, [the boyfriend] came over to [the 
Scott's] house. [redacted] told him that she planned to have an 
abortion.  He was upset, saying she was killing a baby.  Mid- 
evening Kathy Tull called the Scotts, screaming and saying 
such upsetting things that Connie Scott hung up the telephone. 

21.  Shortly thereafter someone pounded on the Scotts' door.  
Carl Scott went to answer the door, but before he could open 
it, defendant [the boyfriend] kicked the door, causing it to hit 
Carl in the eye and [redacted] across the face.  Present with 
[the boyfriend] at the Scott home were, among others, Kathy  
and John Tull, another Tull family member, and several of 
[the boyfriend]'s friends. They were screaming, calling the 
Scotts "baby killers" and other derogatory names, pulling 
[redacted], and hitting Carl. Connie Scott called the police to 
the house because of the violence against her family.  When 
the police arrived, including defendants Willis, Lager, Thallis, 
Shear and John Does I-VIII, [the boyfriend] struck Officer 
Lager and was arrested.  Kathy Tull assaulted Connie Scott by 
kicking her in the stomach.  Kathy Tull was not arrested.  Two 
officers asked [redacted] if she had made an appointment for 
an abortion, to which she responded, yes. 

22.  At least one deputy from the Sheriff's Department, 
defendant Officer Darrell Howard, arrived at the scene 
separately.  He tried to give [redacted] a manila envelope 
containing anti-abortion literature.  Earlier that day, Officer 
Howard, who is active in the anti-choice movement in Blair, 
had met with the Tulls at their home apparently for the 
purpose of preventing [redacted] from obtaining an abortion.  

23.  After the altercation, the plaintiffs and [redacted]'s 
younger brother went to their cousins' house for the night.  
The plaintiffs had earlier told the police that they would be 
staying at their cousins' home in Blair that night and had given 
the officers their cousins' address.  

24.  That same day, September 28, without [redacted] Scotts' 
consent, defendant Kathy Tull discussed [redacted]'s 
pregnancy and abortion plans with defendants Bagby and 
Jordan apparently for the purpose of preventing [redacted] 
from obtaining an abortion.  Defendants Bagby and Jordan 
cooperated, by writing a letter stating that "any elective 
abortion could potentially cause medical and emotional 
damage to the mother at any stage of pregnancy" and that an 
abortion at twenty-three weeks "could be harmful" to 
[redacted].  (Emphasis added.)  Neither Bagby nor Jordan had 
ever examined or spoken with [redacted].  The letter does not 
state that an abortion at twenty-three weeks is legal and is 
accepted medical practice, nor does it note that carrying to 
term and delivering a child could also be harmful to 
[redacted].  Kathy Tull then took the letter to the Blair police 
station.  Attached as Exhibit A is a copy of that letter. 

25.  At around 12:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 29, the 
plaintiffs were awakened by police at their cousins' house.  
More than ten law enforcement vehicles surrounded the house.  
Present were members of the Blair Police Department, 
including defendants Lager, Thallis and Shear, as well as 
county officers.  The police took [redacted] into custody.  
They did so for the purpose of preventing [redacted] from 
obtaining an abortion.  

26.  The Scotts were told that [redacted] was being taken into 
protective custody.  The police offered the Scotts little 
explanation as to why [redacted] was being taken into custody 
except to show them the letter from defendants Bagby and 
Jordan, and to say that defendant John E. Samson, the County 
Attorney, had directed them to take [redacted] into custody.  
The police told the Scotts there would be a hearing at 9 a.m. 
that morning, and advised them to get an attorney.  They did 
not inform the plaintiffs where they were taking [redacted] or 
what they would do with her.  The plaintiffs were extremely 
frightened and confused by the police removing [redacted] in 
the middle of the night to an undisclosed place for an 
undefined purpose. 

27. [redacted] was taken by the police to the Blair police 
station. [redacted] was at the police station for several hours.  
During this time, the police did not give her written notice of 
the reasons she was taken into custody.  During this time, 
[redacted] also noticed anti-choice materials on one of the 
lockers in the station. 


28.  After several hours at the police station, [redacted] was 
transported to the home of a foster family who were strangers 
to her.  At approximately 3:30 a.m., plaintiffs Connie and Carl 
Scott received a call from Deborah Bales, whom they did not 
know, but who identified herself as being with the Nebraska 
Department of Social Services.  Ms. Bales informed the Scotts 
that [redacted] was safe and urged them to get an attorney. 

29.  Early Thursday morning, September 29, plaintiffs Connie 
and Carl Scott sought and obtained counsel.  Their attorney 
was informed by defendant County Attorney Samson that no 
hearing would be held that day because there were no judges 
in town.  Plaintiffs Connie and Carl Scott were not told when 
a hearing would be held, nor were they given the option of 
going to another town to appear before a judge in order to 
avoid further delay. 

30.  On Thursday morning, defendant County Attorney John 
Samson interrogated [redacted] Scott. [redacted] was alone 
throughout the questioning, even though defendant Samson 
knew that she was under eighteen years of age and that her 
parents were available.  Defendant Samson further knew that 
the Scotts had retained counsel.  Defendant Samson also 
refused Deborah Bales' requests that he release [redacted].  
Instead, he filed a baseless petition with the Washington 
County Juvenile Court under the child protection law, alleging  
that [redacted] was in a situation dangerous to life or limb or 
injurious to her health.  The only stated reasons for the 
petition were that plaintiffs Connie and Carl Scott "had made 
arrangements" for [redacted] Scott to obtain an abortion and 
that defendant Bagby had provided a letter to law enforcement 
officials stating that an elective abortion could be harmful to 
[redacted].  A copy of the petition is attached as Exhibit B. 

31.  On Thursday, September 29, the Scotts discovered that 
fliers had been posted all over Blair stating that plaintiffs Carl 
and Connie Scott were "murderers."  Members of [the 
boyfriend's] family and his friends were responsible for 
posting the fliers. 

32.  On Friday afternoon, September 30, the Honorable F.A. 
Gossett, III, of Juvenile Court of Washington County held a 
hearing regarding [redacted].  No guardian ad litem or 
attorney was ever appointed to represent [redacted]'s interests. 

33.  At the hearing, County Attorney Samson filed an 
Amended Petition alleging that [redacted] was in a situation 
dangerous or injurious to her health or morals and that she was 
being neglected by her parents.  These allegations were based 
solely on the assertion that [redacted] was twenty-three weeks 
pregnant and considering an abortion. The only evidence put 
forth by Samson was the letter from defendants Bagby and 
Jordan (Ex. A), who had never examined or spoken to 
[redacted], stating that they believed an abortion at twenty-
three weeks could be harmful to [redacted].  A copy of the 
Amended Petition is attached as Exhibit C. 

34.  The petition filed by defendant County Attorney Samson 
stated that the allegations against plaintiffs Connie and Carl 
Scott were based on reports to "Law Enforcement." The Scotts 
did not, however, receive written notification of the 
investigation from the state Department of Social Services.  
Nor were any of the other procedures typically associated with 
a child abuse or neglect investigation followed, such as the 
appointment of a guardian ad litem for [redacted]. 

35.  Upon consideration of the Amended Petition, Judge 
Gossett stated that [redacted] should not have been removed 
from the Scotts' custody.  Judge Gossett ordered that the 
temporary placement of [redacted] with the Department of 
Social Services be terminated, and further ordered that 
[redacted] be released to the custody of her parents "on the 
condition that no abortion shall be performed on the subject's 
unborn child without further order of the Court." The order 
provides that any violation of its terms is punishable as 
contempt.   A copy of the Order is attached as Exhibit D. 

36.  Subsequent to the hearing, [redacted] obtained protective 
orders from the District Court of Washington County against 
Kathy Tull and [redacted] prohibiting them from harassing 
[redacted] and entering the Scott home. These orders became 
permanent on October 14, 1994, and are still in effect. 

37.  After the incident, [the boyfriend] tried repeatedly to 
contact [redacted].  His friends followed [redacted] when she 
left the house in Blair. [redacted] was threatened with assault. 
[redacted] became afraid to leave the house alone.  School in 
Blair became so threatening that [redacted] was tutored at 
home. [redacted] was so upset by the events that she had to 
seek the advice and support of a counselor.  Connie and Carl 
Scott were also harassed. Because of the trauma to their 
family caused by these events and the ongoing harassment, 
Connie and Carl Scott decided to move from Blair.  They 
wanted [redacted] to be able to return to school and again be 
with peers.  Despite the move and passage of time, [redacted] 
continues to have nightmares. 

38.  Subsequent to the events, [the boyfriend] pleaded guilty 
to assaulting a police officer at the Scotts' house and was 
placed on probation for one year. 

39.  In December 1994, [redacted] gave birth to a baby, whom 
she is raising in [redacted]'s parents' home. 

40.  On September 22, 1995, the plaintiffs served upon 
defendants Washington County, John E. Samson, Darrell 
Howard, Kevin Willis, City of Blair, Joseph Lager, Nicholas 
Thallis, Benjamin Shear, and John Doe I-VII tort claim 
notices in the form required and provided in such cases by the 
laws of the State of Nebraska concerning claims of trespass, 
intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy 
and interference with the rights to reproductive choice, family 
integrity, due process, and freedom from illegal search and 
seizure as guaranteed by the Nebraska Constitution.

willfully participating in joint activity, deprived the plaintiffs

plaintiffs were staying, taking [redacted] into custody, forcibly 
removing her from home and her parents without a judicial 
warrant or order, probable cause, or any exigent circumstances
