FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Two Fayetteville parents have filed separate lawsuits saying their elementary school children were punished by being locked in a janitor's closet known as "The Dungeon."
The Fayetteville Observer reported today that Joan Williams and Charlene Covington both seek damages of more than $20,000, saying their children were locked in the closet during the 2009-2010 school year.
The lawsuits say their children and another kindergartner at Alma Easom Primary School in Fayetteville were punished for acting up in class by being locked in a janitor's closet.
Cumberland County schools lawyer David Phillips says he can't comment about the case, but the school system has investigated the allegations.
-- Any school system that would allow this should be sued! For one thing they should have seen this lawsuit coming. For another thing there are plenty of appropriate ways to punish children for bad behavior. What happend to time out or good 'ole fashioned paddlings?

oh my gosh. Kind of primitive huh? Reminds me of Matilda or Despicable Me. How in the world did they think they could get away with that?
