Autism Student Allegedly Mishandled at School | Charleston News

A lawsuit has been filed against Charleston County Schools and Harbor View Elementary after staff allegedly used excessive force on a young autistic student, causing bruises and an involuntary accident — all while ignoring his IEP and failing to notify his mother. The incident occurred in August 2024 when the child became upset during class; security was called, and restraint followed. The mother, who only learned of the event when picking up her child, is now seeking damages and a jury trial, accusing the district of negligence and improper training. The school district claims it hasn’t yet received formal notice and says it will respond once served. This case raises urgent questions about student safety and institutional accountability.
