So you are licensed through a duel (which means two people fighting each other, I assume you mean dual) program at 16, under the legal age?

What State?

I'd like to know what medical center or practice could or would hire a minor...what with Malpractice laws being what they are...not to mention insurance companies looking at every charge with a magnifying glass.

There ARE dual enrollment courses that teens can take. I happen to know a few myself. The person(s) taking the dual enrollment fall under the insurance of the trainer/facility they are training under.

I haven't read the entire thread, I got bored at page 3. A bit shocked that this thread has continued for 7 pages.

To answer the OP's original question, and having seen that his loss is $350, I'll stick to the simple answer.

Anyone can sue. If you want to sue for you school books, and you can prove that they were damaged by your step parents, then go to small claims court and hope that you win. That's really all you can do.

As for the rest, I wish you good luck, you'll need it, and I hope you succeed.

Rai, I would like to say that I, for one, do believe your story. While there are some holes that needed to be filled, I believe you are indeed trying to better yourself coming out of a bad situation.

I have to say I am so sorry that some of my colleagues treated you in the way in which they did. Some of those posts even embarrassed me as they were in no way the professional advice we try to give here.

The simple answer Rai, is yes you can sue these people, however it will most likely have to be done in small claims court.

Now I'm thinking I may have to get past page 3. What did I miss?

I understand dual enrollment courses. I also know the qualifications for being a massage therapist - and that includes wc and professional liability coverage. A massage therapist "trainee" is hands on. She's not wandering around, handing out wet towels. I also haven't found out which State - which could end this one way or the other.

I'm sorry we are in disagreement here but I do not believe her.

As is a nursing "trainee." I've been there done that. I had to work under a licensed nurse to perform procedures such as starting IVs, foley catheters, etc. I didn't wander around just doing bed baths.
