""This is every parent's nightmare. A child with significant needs was left alone in a dangerous environment when he required constant supervision. That is a catastrophic failure.""
""A teacher's aide reported that she had been away from the boy for 10 minutes when she began to hear people yelling frantically and calling out to him.""
""J.M.'s teacher acknowledged that she was supposed to remain with the boy but was in the classroom at the time, indicating a serious lapse in supervision.""
A 4-year-old disabled boy was airlifted to a hospital after nearly drowning in an elementary school pool. His mother is suing the Ontario-Montclair School District, claiming staff abandoned him without flotation devices. The boy, referred to as J.M., is nonverbal, autistic, and has spina bifida and hydrocephalus, requiring constant supervision. On December 12, he was left alone by the pools at Lincoln Elementary School, leading to the incident. An attorney described the situation as a catastrophic failure of care.
