The family of a teen killed after being ejected from the Florida State Fair two years ago is filing a lawsuit related to the case.
 
Andrew Joseph III, 14, was hit by a car as he was trying to cross I-4 on foot after being kicked out of Student Day at the fair.
 
He was one of nearly 100 teens who were removed after a disturbance.
 
Joseph's family maintains that he was an innocent bystander who was not directly involved in the fighting and running that took place.
 
Attorney Barry Cohen has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Joseph's family seeking damages as well as attorney's fees for the "unjustified arrest and detention of a nonviolent and non-resistant juvenile."
 
The Hillsborough County School Board, the school district, the Florida State Fair Authority, Hillsborough County Sheriff David gee and the sheriff's deputies involved are listed as defendants.
 
Cohen said the situation wasn't handled properly.
 
"They didn't have enough deputies, they weren't trained enough. They weren't organized. It was totally dysfunctional and they were just rounding up these black kids."
 
The lawsuit claims on Feb. 7, 2014, all but three of the 99 students ejected from the fair for "wilding" were black.
 
It said that Joseph was taken to a processing center then dropped off in an area one or two miles down I-4 without his parents ever being notified.
 
The suit said the teen was trying to get back to the fairgrounds to get a ride home when he was hit.
 
"I feel like the system failed my son in the worst way," said his father, Andrew Joseph Jr. "We want a safe event where kids can go the fair and not come home in a body bag."
 
None of the defendants are commenting on the allegations in the lawsuit.
 
There have been policy changes since Joseph's death.
 
Students are only allowed admission to Student Day with a valid school I.D. and they must be accompanied by an adult 21 or older after 6 p.m.
 
In addition, the midway has been widened and elevated security platforms have been brought in.
 
The fair has added full body security scanners at every entrance this year along with more security cameras.
 
Authorities also said that any juveniles who are ejected will be allowed to call their parents.
