"Going to the school and bringing this to them and asking for help is like talking to brick because I'm getting nowhere," Gregory Thomas said."She was spit on in the hall. She was assaulted in the hall," said the family's attorney Kenneth M. Mollins. "This was all in Central Islip Middle School. She was cursed at. She was pushed around."
A Central Islip spokesperson released a statement that read in part, "The district regards the safety and welfare of its students as its paramount interest and takes all reasonable measures to safeguard its students." The notice of claim will likely become a lawsuit against the district. The family is seeking $2 million.
As for that 13-year-old girl, she transferred out of the school district about two months ago to another public middle school on Long Island.If you are experiencing suicidal, substance use or other mental health crises please call or text the new three-digit code at 988.
