Child Abuse in Northampton County High School

Confidential Settlement

We represented Dillon, a 10th grader at a Northampton County, PA high school, who reported being dragged, shoved, and pulled by a guidance counselor and teacher.

The two staff members—who weighed a combined 470 lbs—forcibly moved Dillion into a small room and manhandled him.

The incident left him with a rotator cuff tear, requiring orthopedic surgery.

The school staff denied any altercation occurred.

They even attempted to blame Dillon for his injuries, suggesting they were from sports.

Dillion’s parents came to us to take a stand against the school and the staff.

We obtained video evidence from the school hallway that clearly depicted the two staff members.

Through depositions from Dillon, his parents, school staff, and administration officials, we built a strong case.

Ultimately, we resolved the matter at a Federal Court Judge’s conference, providing Dillon with the recovery he deserved.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of assault or negligence in a school setting, it’s time to take a stand.
