Kentucky Lawyers: 3 Kentucky bullying lawsuits filed by victim's families; my partner Vanessa Cantley
My partner Vanessa Cantley filed three separate bullying lawsuits on behalf of children today. In what has become a troubling pattern here in Kentucky, despite being made aware of repeated episodes of abuse, teachers and school administrators did nothing to stop the abuse.
The lawsuits were filed in three separate counties: Meade, Floyd and Oldham. These cases involve more than pushing or name calling. One Freshman at South Oldham was repeatedly assaulted by teammates on his wrestling team. The kids broke his nose, and several times choked him until he passed out. Once he regained consciousness, they would choke him again.
The families were interviewed today by WAVE3's Connie Leonard and featured on the local news cast. Read about it here.
