Parents of a special education student who formerly studied at Liberty Elementary School, Liberty, Indiana have filed an official notice of their intent to sue the Union County-College Corner Joint School District and the East Central Special Services over the care and treatment of their child.
The family is seeking $3 million in damages for each alleged incident of abuse, neglect and battery that their child had to face at the school. Their charges include battery, negligent supervision, abuse, negligent infliction of emotional distress, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation and gross negligence.
The school was notified of the family's intent to sue on October 20, 2008. This notification is a prerequisite in Indiana. A public entity must be notified of a potential lawsuit against it before a civil lawsuit can be filed.
The child began attending the school in August last year. However, the child was soon removed from the school on a physician's advice for safety reasons. The child had become very upset about attending school and would cry every time upon arriving there.
