Seattle School Caged Second-Grader New Lawsuit Says

 A mother of a 10-year-old boy with special education needs is suing Seattle Public Schools for denying her child an education and for keeping him in what the former principal described as a “cage” in 2019, the lawsuit alleges.

The mother, whom The Washington Post is not naming because she is a domestic violence survivor, is seeking damages to be decided by the court, attorney’s fees and costs, and other relief the court deems equitable.

The lawsuit alleges the school district discriminated against the boy based on his disability and race, and was negligent in protecting him from harm among other claims.

Seth Rosenberg, attorney for the mother, told The Washington Post in an interview Tuesday that the district knew about the tactics of former View Ridge Elementary School principal Ed Roos, but did nothing about it until a groundswell of parents started objecting.
