The courts have ruled to allow Devon Hodges lawsuit to continue and not be dismissed. The lawsuit has added on a few names, other then previously posted. Amongst about a dozen names, Mr. Mitchem and Steve Quigley have been named in the lawsuit for failure to assist a boy from harassment and bullying, and showing nepotism against him to secure scholarships for Mitchems son.
This is not the first case that will likely be tried in courts, as on one another occasion, an African American boy was taken off the same years academic scholarship list for no good reason by Mitchems assistant, and then Mitchems son received the scholarships. The administration then claimed that boy might have gotten only $300, and offered to pay for that when we exposed the story.
Just to recap for new followers, Devon Hodges suffered immense stalking, humiliation, bullying, and harassment from teachers and school officials because his family moved from Romeoville to Bolingbrook. Since he was a star athlete in Romeoville, the basketball coaches did not want him to leave. At one point, the basketball coach had them make nasty signs and tee shirts to attend a game again Bolingbrook, shirts calling his names in reference to his intelligence, amongst many other allegations.
To add insult to injury, Bolingbrook's team did not want him because that position was already being played by Mr. Mitchem (former principle, now Superintendent) son. The situation was so compounded that they blocked Devon's ability to show college recruiters what he could do and to gain scholarships.

ReplyDeleteI want to tuly thank Bonnie and the Watchdogs of Bolingbrook for standing by my family's side during this whole ordeal!!! They have been there for us to help in anyway they can and we DO appreciate it!!!To Anonymous we have no problem with the lawsuit being posted so everyone can see. However, there are 44 pages and I don't know if that will pose a problem. However, we trust Bonnie and the Watchdogs of Bolingbrook and how ever way they see fit to handle this we will honor and stand by them. No one knows that the Patch has been aware of this information and has also had a copy of the 44 page complaint as well. The Patch has had it since 6/27/12 and has not updated the community on it at all. They refuse to write anything about it. So,I guess they are showing us that instead of being unbiased we know who they are really protecting. KUDOS to Bonnie and the Watchdogs of Bolingbrook for keeping everyone updated!!! I have also set up a twitter page at.... @amaddmama
ReplyDeleteWe are trying to spread the news to others that may be going through something dealing with the school system. It does not have to be the same problem as what my son and family has faced but whatever injustice and unfair treatment we want to be able to help. This was a long and hard road but by GOD'S GRACE and MERCY we are making it just fine! I don't ever want another family to ever go through any of this not ever! GOD BLESS!
