Mom Christine Yonan sues the Northwest Side Catholic Elementary School her autistic son Anthony attended because of it's failure to take action against bullying. Yonan is suing because she claims the school ignored the attacks her son faced during the last 2 years he attended the school. According to her, instead of punishing the bullies, her son was excluded from events where the bullying occurred, making him miss out on schools sports activities such as basketball and social activities such as school dances. Anthony would need to be accompanied by a family member for after school math tutoring.
Ann Creighton, a mom of a recent graduate and a teacher at another school, says her daughter constantly saw students being bullied. She states that the school's principal, Principal Coleman, would say to "let the kid's work it out" when parents complained to him about bullying.
