Q: my son started to attend a charter school and was very well behaved until about 1 1/2 months ago when he started to misbehave. My son was violated by another student with special needs in the bathroom of his school and the school did nothing about it. In addition they allowed all of the children to use the bathrooms unsupervised. I had meetings with the life skills coach where he disclosed this information and I am still awaiting a response. On top of it all I spoke to the principal and she had no knowledge of what was occurring. Because of this my son is in therapy and I feel the school is negligent and should pay for it. Do I have a case? and if so could you refere me to an attorney?
A: David's Answer: Depending on what precautions a "reasonable school" should have taken under the circumstances, it is certainly possible you have a claim. Attorneys on this site may not directly solicit clients, but you may consult the listing of attorneys on this site & make calls. Your next step should be scheduling a consultation with a Bronx Civil Rights attorney. -- David Bliven, Bronx Civil Rights attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
