The mother of an LAUSD student found out that he was being molested by a teacher's aide when she heard the boy screaming in his sleep for the aide not to hurt him, reports KTLA.
She talked to the boy about what she had overheard the next morning and he allegedly told her that he had been raped by a male aide.
It turned out that the boy had reported the molestation to a teacher several years ago, but the aide wasn't reported and the boy's parents were never told. Now, an attorney for the boy says that the child was molested for two years.
The incident reportedly happened at Glenfeliz Boulevard Elementary School. The boy's attorney, Michael Carrillo, has taken out a restraining order against the suspect.
