  OCEAN TOWNSHIP – District staff is being accused of mistreating an elementary school student with disabilities, allegedly allowing him to roam a hall naked and forcing him to be video recorded on a toilet, according to a lawsuit.


The legal complaint, filed Sept. 9 in Superior Court of Monmouth County by the boy’s parents, alleges that the abuse occurred at Ocean Township Elementary School, which serves Pre-K through 4th grade.
“The allegations in this case are deeply troubling and our clients have suffered immensely,” Armen McOmber, attorney for the family, said via email. “Simply put, the Ocean Township School District completely failed a minor student with special needs.”
The student was eight years old when the alleged abuse began in 2018 and continued through 2020, the complaint states.
The lawsuit claims that the school district “failed to abide by its duty to provide an appropriate public education to all of its students, including those with special needs requiring additional care and attention to ensure same,” the lawsuit stated, later claiming the school engaged in “half-witted staff assignments, inappropriate training and negligent supervision.”
Ocean Township Superintendent Jim Stefankiewicz declined comment on the case, stating, “As this is a student matter the district cannot comment on student matters and pending litigation.”
The child, whose name is being withheld by the Asbury Park Press because of his age and the circumstances of the claims, had been diagnosed with several physical and emotional afflictions, according to the lawsuit. Those included Down syndrome, Epilepsy, seizures, anxiety disorder, auto immune disease and autism spectrum disorder.
“Upon matriculating at Ocean Township Elementary School, (the student) was constantly met with teachers and assistants incapable of providing for students with special needs,” the complaint said. “On more than one occasion, (he) was forced to use the bathroom in front of assistants, staff, and students.”

The lawsuit claimed the boy “also had to sit alone during lunch and during recess, and was inexplicably limited to ‘playing’ with his instructional assistant” and “on at least one specific occasion, (the instructional assistant) even took a video of (the student) while he was using the bathroom and (the district) did nothing to address such overtly exploitive, malicious and unlawful behavior.”
The 79-page lawsuit details numerous examples of what it claims are either abusive or humiliating situations involving the child.
