School, which is supposed to be a safe space, has become our client’s nightmare.

Our firm represents an early elementary student from St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Academy in Brooklyn who was subject to shocking treatment. On February 2nd, our 3-year-old client was placed in a box and locked in a closet by his teacher, Ms. Alexis Breeden. Simply put, there are no imaginable circumstances where this can be called anything but child abuse. This incident is extremely troubling, and we intend to fully investigate and force accountability.

Unfortunately, our initial inquiry has revealed that this is not the first instance at this school where helpless children were subject to abusive behavior in what was promised to parents as a nurturing parochial environment.”
