A court in the United States made a decision of paying compensation to one student from California in the amount of $1.3 million. The reason: She was forced to urinate in a bucket after she was denied a toilet break during classes. A Superior Court of California has made a decision regarding the lawsuit that was launched for the case from 2012, when 14-year-old student is not allowed to go to the bathroom.
On this basis, was initiated a lawsuit against the local government and staff in this school, and a court has ruled to pay compensation of $1.25 million.
Student Earned $1 Million
The Patrick Henry High School student, now 19, said her teacher Gonja Wolf had rejected her request to go to the bathroom, according to the lawsuit.
Her request came during a 25-minute advisory class, in which Ms Wolf believed bathroom breaks were not permitted, lawyers said.
Ms Wolf instead directed the student to use a supply room closet next to the classroom, where she could urinate in a bucket and empty it in a sink.
The student was forced to transfer schools twice over bullying and still goes to therapy to work through the post-traumatic stress over the incident, the student’s attorney said.
As well as $1.25m, the jury awarded the girl $41,000 to cover medical expenses.
