The Smithtown Central School District is accused of ignoring a cheerleader who was abused for years by her fellow students and teammates to the point where she threatened to kill herself.
Long Island mom who ran over son’s teen bully acquitted of attempted murder: ‘ Happy with the outcome’
The alleged victim’s parents were so alarmed they even tried to sell their home to leave the area — and bought her a horse as an “emotional support animal,” the suit said. Meanwhile, the bullied girl “had enough and she even threatened to kill herself if they forced her to go back to school,” her attorney said. “She would beg not to be sent back there.”A.S.’s misery began during the 2018-2019 school year, where another girl — whom The Post is identifying as A.M. — allegedly “constantly bullied” her during recess and lunch, the lawsuit claims.
Officials at the Smithtown West High School allegedly did little to nothing to help the victim, according to the lawsuit.Another cheerleader then yanked her to the ground by her hair as others started to also punch and kick her. “The school’s brilliant plan was to have the bullies enter the school through the side door and the victim through the front door of the building, that way they wouldn’t interact and there’d be no problems. But that clearly didn’t happen,” Mollins said.And when the victim’s family got so desperate to the point where they tried keeping her out of school, Mollins said the district threatened to call Child Services on them and forced A.S. to come back.
