In Federal Complaints, 2 Families Claim Their Children Were Abused In Westport Schools: Report

WESTPORT, CT — The families of two Westport students have filed federal complaints against the school district claiming that their children were abused at the hands of staff members, reports the Connecticut Post.

The complaints were filed late last year with the United States Department of Education Office for Civil Rights. In one of the alleged cases, a principal and a guidance counselor are accused of grabbing and shaking one of the students.

An attorney representing the families also told the publication that they intend to file civil lawsuits in connection with the cases.
