A Queens mother is filing a $6 million suit after a school aide restrained her five-year-old daughter, a special-ed kindergartner, by binding her to a cafeteria bench with her own sweater. Marissa Chunisingh discovered the treatment that her daughter Christyn was receiving in school when the girl began tying up one of her dolls with a scarf because she was “being bad.” Someone also reported to Chunisingh that Christyn, who is in special-ed for a speech disability, was “strapped down after she was found locked in a classroom by herself - screaming at the top of her lungs.” No one from the school or the city has responded to Chunisingh’s allegations, which are currently under investigation.
