Most likely it is a lawyer involved with the school doing this. He/she will get paid regardless of the outcome. It is probably the only tactic they have. 

The next tactic will be trying to prove that the parents do not have a legal argument to sue on their child’s behalf. Maybe try to prove that the child isn’t theirs. 

This will mediate out after the positioning is done.  Employees will be forced into retirement.  Money will exchange hands....
