When parents send their children to school, they trust that they will be safe, supported and treated with dignity and respect.
Our firm is proud to represent a family seeking accountability after their five-year-old nonverbal autistic son was physically and verbally abused by a teacher while at school at Camas Prairie Elementary School. This abuse was witnessed by another para educator, but was not reported as required by law. The district failed this child on every level.
Every child deserves to learn in an environment free from fear and harm, especially our most vulnerable, and when that trust is broken families deserve answers.
We remain committed to advocating for our clients and helping them pursue justice.
