« Sunny but chilly; it could rain (again) tonight | Today | Former Clinton fundraiser, Ferraro, in RI today » March 13, 2008Conn. student suing after being awakened by teacherDANBURY, Conn. -- Danbury officials have been notified they are being sued by a student who was awakened in class by a teacher who made a loud noise. Documents filed with the Town Clerk, a prelude to a lawsuit, claim that a sleeping student suffered hearing damage when his teacher woke him up by slamming her hand down on the boy's desk in December. Attorney Alan Barry says 15-year-old Vinicios Robacher suffered pain and "very severe injuries to his left eardrum" when teacher Melissa Nadeau abruptly slammed the palm of her hand on his desk on Dec. 4. A city official says the matter has been referred to Danbury's insurance carrier. -- The Associated Press Posted by Jack Perry CommentsPaul | March 13, 2008 7:52 AM link Are you kidding me???? The kid was sleeping in class! The sad part about this whole thing, is the kid would win his law suit Tracey | March 13, 2008 8:58 AM link Tracey is probably right. The lawyers should really step back and not take such cases. It only gives other nuts reason to sue over such rediculios happenings. Just what are we as a nation and people coming to? SAD SAD SAD Marcia Gerstein | March 13, 2008 3:12 PM link The fact of the matter is that the teacher slapped the wrong end of the student. Sleeping in class? The kid needs to be taken out to the woodshed by his father. Failing that, let the teacher do it. Some day he will thank her. --Curmudgeon She slapped the wrong end | March 13, 2008 6:09 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil. Vicious comments, personal attacks and profanity won't be published.
