A family from Minnesota is suing the Lakeville school district and a school nurse after their teen daughter was left in a vegetative state after an asthma attack.

The parents of 14-year-old Aaliyah Bowen—an eighth-grader at McGuire Middle School—are seeking more than $10 million in damages. They claim the school and its nurse are responsible for failing to treat their daughter properly.
