Chicago-area boy sues school over bullying

Deveri Del Core filed the complaint on Tuesday in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of her son Joaquin, saying he had been the victim of weekly attacks and death threats during the past year at Robert Frost Elementary School in Mount Prospect, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. "The child committed assault and battery on my client, and I don't treat that very lightly," the mother's attorney, Joel Handler, said on Wednesday. Del Core had repeatedly reported to the school that her son was being bullied and was assured that Joaquin would be protected, but nothing was done, according to the lawsuit. Moreover, Handler said Del Core was fired from her job in the school's cafeteria soon after her lawsuit was filed in retaliation for bringing the complaint, which he said he planned to add to the court case.
