The parents of a second-grade student are suing Burris Laboratory School, claiming that their 8-year-old son was victim to repeated sexual assaults from classmates … and that the teacher knew about it.
According to the lawsuit filed last week, the boy’s parents received a call from another school parent, informing them of “sexual abuse, molestation, and sexual harassment” at the school. After questioning school staff, the parents — identified as John and Jane Doe — learned about the extent of the abuse, which their child allegedly suffered for three months. At least 11 different instances were reported.
The lawsuit names four boys involved in the abuse and states their teacher as a defendant along with Ball State University, which oversees the school. The Ball State University Board of Trustees and the Burris Laboratory School are also defendants in the suit. Fox News reports that the students
involved were “given free run of the restrooms and were unsupervised
for long periods of time.” Case documents also state that “other
students approached the teacher to tell her that certain boys ‘were doing things to other boys’ private parts.’ ” Instead of investigating, the teacher told the students to “stop ‘tattling’ on others.”
