A school nurse and counselor forced an 8-year-old Texas boy to bathe after telling him he “smelled badly, was dirty and had bad hygiene,” according to a lawsuit. The boy was forced to take off his clothes and the two school officials “began violently washing his body,” the parents said. Amber and Michael Tilley filed the suit against the Peaster School District. “It’s terrible, and we don’t want anything like that to happen to any other children,” Amber Tilley said. The boy is referred to by the initials “P.T.” in the lawsuit. His parents also say school officials put cotton balls in their son’s ears and left them there for the entire day. “His body and his ears, they were really sore, real tender from being scrubbed,” Amber Tilley said. The lawsuit claims the boy was traumatised by what happened and has had to see therapists.
