The parents of a 7-year-old girl in California are taking legal action against their school district after their daughter left school to escape her bully-her own teacher.
According to the Daily Mail, 2nd grader Samaya Dillard would tell her parents that her teacher disliked her and felt that she was being bullied by her. Because of over crowding at Jefferson Elementary, the child was forced to stay in the class.
It was then that things took a turn for the worst. In Decemeber 2013, Samaya was dragged out of class by her teacher after she accidentally spilled a cup of water in class. Left in the hallway alone, the little girl left the school and wandered for miles across a highway. She previously told her mother she 'didn't want to live anymore' after being bullied by her teacher.
Her parents didn't find out she was missing for hours. After driving around town, they found the child wandering in a neighborhood with just a sweater on in 40 degree weather. Dillards have a filed claim with the Natomas Unified School District for unspecified damages to their daughter, her older sisters, and themselves.
There isn't word on the status on her teacher, Lupe Rodriguez, but the school did release a statement on the case.
"We cannot comment on the claim's allegations or the parties involved because it is a pending legal matter, and because it involves a minor and a personnel issue. We can only say that we care deeply about all children in Natomas unified and we are firmly committed to the safety of our students."
