Staff at a Chicago elementary school made a boy leave the building on a cold March day, coatless and in short sleeves, then lied about what happened, according to a lawsuit that alleges a pattern of abuse and harassment by staff and the boy's classmates
The fourth-grader had been bullied from the time he enrolled at Fiske Elementary School at the start of the school year, his mother, Yvonne Pinkston, told journalists Tuesday. But the school staff"failed to take any action" to protect the boy and"even became abusive towards him," according to the complaint filed in US district court in Illinois on Monday.
"CNN has reached out to the teacher's union to find out whether the defendants have an attorney.Asked for comment on the lawsuit, Chicago Public Schools spokeswoman Emily Bolton said the security guard involved was"removed from his position" Tuesday and the district is looking into the principal's actions.CPS leadership didn't know about the allegations before Tuesday, Bolton said, and the reason for that is under review as well.
