In a lawsuit filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court, LaShanda Smith alleges that security guard David Allen “acted in conscious disregard” of her son’s safety when he handcuffed him in March 2010 following an unexplained incident on campus. She is seeking more than $100,000 in damages.
Attorney Michael Carin said the students were taken to an office where they were handcuffed and told they were going to prison and would never see their parents again.What is wrong with these people? What next, tasers, waterboarding?
