MISHAWAKA -- Michael and Teresa Rhoades were outraged when they learned their juvenile daughter had been given a psychological test -- they say without their consent.

Outraged enough to make their displeasure with the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp., where the TeenScreen depression screening test was administered, a matter of public record at school board meetings and in the media.

Now, it appears the Osceola family may take their concerns somewhere else public -- a courthouse.

Teresa Carroll, a spokeswoman for P-H-M, confirmed the school system had received the notice, and said that the issue would be reviewed.

"We will be consulting with our attorneys before we can respond," she said.

"In the tort claim, the family also claims that when Chelsea took the test, she was improperly diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and social anxiety disorder. That diagnosis, they claim, caused both the teen and her parents emotional distress, and the family intends to seek the "maximum amount of damages.""
