A child is suing the Claremont Unified School District, alleging district and school officials failed to protect him from unruly fellow intermediate school students who bullied and attacked him on campus this spring and forced his mother to withdraw him from the campus for his protection.
The Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit was brought on the minor's behalf by his mother and it alleges assault and battery, dangerous condition of public property, negligent supervision and negligent hiring, training and retention. The plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
"The district takes all allegations seriously and is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all our students," the statement read."District policy prioritizes the safety and security of all students and staff." According to the suit, at about 9 a.m. on May 23, the plaintiff's assailant accused the boy of speaking negatively about the attacker's sister, prompting the plaintiff to try and ease the situation while other students laughed and began recording with their phones.
