Allegations against a Wake County school

Allegations against a Wake County school are emerging in a federal lawsuit against the school system.

Parents of autistic students at Raleigh’s Carroll Middle School claim children were restrained, including one with handcuffs.

The suit also claims students were encouraged to wrestle each other to “let out their aggression.”

The lawsuit was brought by a Watchdog group for persons with disabilities. The group simply wants the names of special needs students and parents so it can investigate the allegations, but said Wake schools will not provide that confidential information.

The school system is investigating.
