[quote=Anonymous]Op here, I am a public school teacher. I teach in an elementary school and am strongly considering suing a student's parents because of his extreme behavior. Example:He kicked me violently today and left my leg iwth blue and black marks. He scratched my arm and I will not have a permanent scar. The state of MD to my knowledge does not have educational neglect laws like the state of NY. His parents have refused to want to allow the school to get him evaluated for an IEP. I am documenting on my end to no avail. There are so many student protection laws but none for teachers/admin or students who are at risk of being harmed by a student who should not be with the general population. I am literally fearful to be in the classroom. His behavior has now escalated to hitting and throwing chairs or items at other students. Does anyone know an organization that might help me?

Getting an IEP is not a fast-tracked process, it takes about 5 months of data collection before anything really gets rolling, which means by the time a student gets an IEP the school year is over. I am tired of being abused by the children of neglectful parents.

Thank you. [/quote]
