ANN ARBOR, MI (WXYZ/CNN) – In a lawsuit, the family of a woman with cerebral palsy says her former teacher, among others, abused and neglected her over many years while at school.
The 25-page lawsuit, filed against Washtenaw Intermediate School District, a teacher, principal and two teacher’s aides, outlines "repetitive instances of abuse” suffered by Rosa Smith, a now 26-year-old woman with cerebral palsy.
Smith has cognitive impairment, an inability to communicate verbally and physical impairments, including the inability to move her hands and arms.
According to the lawsuit, the woman endured physical, emotional and psychological harm at the hands of the defendants, who allegedly spilled scalding hot coffee on her, locked her in the bathroom for extended periods of time and slapped her across the face.
“These weren’t accidents, and there was abuse going on,” attorney Jonathan Marko said.

I’m not buying all this.
Looking for a big payday.
Oh shit.
What in the hell!
I work with three young men with cerebral palsy 5 days a week. All three are developmentally disabled. Aside from a lack of control of body function they aren’t even a little bit of a problem. One utters a lot of uncontrolled nonsense but Thank God he can still do that!
I just don’t understand this.
I use that blue mask tape stuff to paint. Low stick.
Why was she in a school like that!?!?!?
“Why was she in a school like that!?!?!?”
They didn’t have an attic to hide her in?
If the person who had CB was unable to really communicate I’m sure there are video’s of the abuse? Is there?
Almost looks like a Photoshop of Bill Cosby.
And SUPER low stick on skin. Try it.
26 years old in school?
Why did the family allow it to continue?
I suspect lawsuit lottery or else something would have been done immediately in 2004.
Good Lord.
That tape couldn’t tape anything shut. As others said it is painters’ tape. Hardly any tack. Really? the teacher took a picture and texted it? I don’t believe the family’s story.
“I just don’t understand this.”
Soulless Snowflakes.
“That tape couldn’t tape anything shut. As others said it is painters’ tape. “
Could not tell if it was painter’s tape or that new medical tape that has come out, it hardly sticks at all.
