A father on Long Island is suing his daughter's school for negligence for not protecting kids after she was attacked by a classmate.
Ezra Hoyte said he won't send his daughter back to Central Islip High School yet -- she's only 14 and in 9th grade and was thrown to the ground and beaten by a classmate nearly two weeks ago.
Suffolk County police say her attacker, who was also 14, is charged with third degree assault and released back to her mother. The school district also would not comment on the pending litigation, but it does have a safety plan that is supposed to include hallway monitors. All of this has led up to the panic and fear of this week with even more school violence, both on the national scale and on Long island.
