INDIANAPOLIS -- The mother of a 7-year-old boy with autism and a severe peanut allergy has filed a lawsuit claiming a teacher tossed her son a peanut-filled Mr. Goodbar candy bar in hopes of sickening him and keeping him from going on a zoo field trip.
The boy didn't eat the candy bar, but Anita Young said her son suffered physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his teacher, and filed a lawsuit in Marion County against her son's Indianapolis school.
Young also wants criminal charges filed against teacher Trinda Barocas.

Yes I realize that but even in doing that it doesn’t keep the allergic child from being exposed to someone who had peanutbutter for breakfast. I used to have that nearly every morning on toast before school. To expect the world to watch out 24/7 IMHO is expecting a little too much.
Yes, it’s a bit much, but this was apparently a school for “special needs” children.................
