School accused of putting a child with learning difficulties in a “cage”

Upset is the Seattle from an incident that has brought a family to sue the school their son attended.

According to the complaints, the 8-year-old African-American student with special needs was locked in a cage in the yard of the View Ridge Elementary School in 2019.

The student was kept in a fenced yard for hours and his food was even brought there, leaving him to eat without a chair or table.

“Its doors cage “They insured from abroad with a chain and a padlock, under the orders of the school principal Ed Roos”, as it is stated in the lawsuit, “there were no alternative exits”.

The other children, but also passers-by on the street, saw the imprisoned child “as if he were an animal in a zoo”, as it is typically noted.

The child’s mother, who has since been transferred to another school, spoke to a local station and said the boy’s psyche had been injured by the incident. Ed Roos has resigned from his duties at the school, but he said last year that the district primary committee knew about the cage and had given the green light.

Teacher Jaquelyn Flaherty says she is disgusted with his treatment student, especially since he is one of the few black children in the white main school.

“I have never seen, in all these years, a child being locked up in such a place,” Flaherty said, “it was like a cage.” She was the one who made the first complaint.

Principal Roos had described it as a “calm area” for the student, who was naughty. He had been through the “cage” several times, as they called it creepily.
