Family Sues Omaha School District After Daughter’s Assault

omaha-psBELVEDERE, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha family is suing the school district after they say that their 8-year-old daughter was assaulted by three boys on a Belvedere Elementary playground two years ago.

The Omaha Public Schools, the superintendent, Belvedere Principal Christina Windsor, teacher’s aide Lynn Wray and another unidentified aide are named as defendants in the suit brought by the family.

According to the lawsuit, the third-grade girl was chased and brought down to the ground by three 8-year-old boys during recess. The three of them held her down, covered her mouth and restrained her while one of them straddled her and started to unbutton her shirt. The girl’s nose was bloodied during the struggle.

The family is seeking damages for injury, mental suffering and medical and mental health expenses.

The boys have been arrested and charged with attempted sexual assault
