A New Jersey school district will pay $25K to settle a lawsuit filed by the mother of a 10-year-old Latino boy who says her son was racially harassed by other students for an entire school year.
The three students continued to harass the boy on a daily basis, the lawsuit alleges. One of the students allegedly referred to him as"fat boy" and said in an online post that no one should be friends with him.
Another student tripped the boy while he was walking in the hallway and made several derogatory comments toward him, including referring to him as a"mistake," according to the lawsuit. The boy was also allegedly stabbed in the leg with a pencil in February 2018 by one of the students. The boy's mother reported these incidents to the school principal,"and nothing was done to punish or deter these individuals," the lawsuit states.In May 2018, the boy was in a bathroom when one of his harassers kicked a bucket at him that was underneath a urinal collecting urine and water, according to the complaint.
"The harassment of plaintiff was purposeful, willful and intentional, and members of defendant's upper management and administrative staff were made aware of the harassment, and were willfully indifferent to the harassment," the lawsuit states. Under the settlement agreement entered on Wednesday, about $17,500 will be deposited in a trust fund for the plaintiff.
