Mother Of Slain Teen To Sue School System
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) ―
The mother of a 14-year-old Crofton boy who died in an apparent outbreak of gang violence plans to sue the Anne Arundel County school system.
Jenny Adkins believes the school system failed to protect her son, Christopher Jones, from gangs at school.
Jones was attacked May 30 by a group of teens while riding his bike as part of what police called a gang dispute.
Adkins has said her son was being bullied and that school officials had promised to protect Christopher. He was transferred to a new high school in April.
Adkins' lawyer, Richard Jaklitsch, says she's almost as upset with the school system as she is with the teens involved in her son's death. Jaklitsch has notified the school system of his client's intention to sue.
