Chiefs focus A 14-year-old boy in Oregon died in 2021 when a heavy branch fell on him while he was working on a tree-planting project. His mother has now sued both the boy’s school and the volunteer group that put together the event.
Christopher Robert Declan Kelly was volunteering in Troutdale, a suburb of Portland, on November 6, 2021, as part of his volunteer hours to graduate from Central Catholic High School.
The case was brought by Christopher’s mother to the Multnomah County Circuit Court on Thursday. She wants $29 million in compensation.
The claim says that Central Catholic High School and the volunteer group Friends of Trees failed to protect students from bad weather, even though thunderstorms were expected.
The story says that thunder and strong winds were heard a mile away from where the volunteers were planting trees. It says that some students who weren’t dressed right for the weather were huddled under a tent, and a Friends of Trees expert went to her car to get out of the rain.
It was said in a release by Central Catholic:
