A teacher forced a 7-year-old New Jersey boy to eat his lunch outside in the February cold as punishment, according to a shocking lawsuit.
The second-grader at Belleville Public School 4 spent his lunch period in the parking lot after he was accused of mocking his teacher, his family said in the Essex County Superior Court complaint.
But the boy was merely repeating what his teacher was saying, not mocking, his family insisted.

When the parents reported the “extreme” punishment, their concerns fell on deaf ears, they claimed.
The boy had to contend with other bullies too.
In October 2023, the boy broke his nose after he tripped and fell while running from another student who pulled his pants down, the suit claimed.
