Lawsuit: California Student Recruited to Help in Drug Bust
The mother of a California middle school student has sued the school district, claiming her 14-year-old son was used as bait during an on-campus drug sting.
The suit was filed against the Temecula Valley Unified High School District. The paper did not name the student or his parents out of fear for their son’s safety.
The lawsuit says the incident took place last year when an assistant principal allegedly arranged to have the teen help catch a fellow student suspected of selling marijuana on campus. Despite the mother’s objections, the sting occurred. The suit accuses school officials of recklessness and child endangerment. A school district spokeswoman declined comment.
