The parents of a 14-year-old special needs student are suing a Bronx school and one of its male teachers for $5.15 million—claiming they turned a blind eye while he sexually abused her on multiple occasions.

The victim was allegedly assaulted by Yakubu Abdulazeez, a 51-year-old employee at the Christopher School in Edenwald who was criminally charged and released on his own recognizance last Tuesday for sexual abuse, forcible touching and endangering the welfare of a child.

Court documents show that the girl suffers from schizoaffective disorder, autism, intermittent compulsive disorder and moderate intellectual disabilities.

An informant at the her school “observed [Abdulazeez] to have his hand down [the victim’s] pants,” according to a criminal complaint.

The lawsuit alleges that repeated attacks gave the girl permanent and “disabling injuries” and deprived her mother of the “companionship of her daughter.”

It also claims that Abdulazeez had a prior history involving “improper sexual conduct”—and that the school should have been well aware of his past before hiring him.

“Defendants did not exercise reasonable care and diligence in the selection, engagement and employment of its security personnel, teachers, agents, servants and employees,” the suit says.

It adds that Abdulazeez had sexually assaulted the victim and other minors on prior occasions.

SCO Family of Services, which runs the Christopher School, tried their best to distance themselves from Abdulazeez on Monday.

“SCO took immediate action following the allegation and the individual involved is no longer employed by the organization,” they said in a statement.

“This individual, like all SCO employees, was subject to background checks and clearances that included the National Sex Offender Registry, a criminal background check, and Child Protective Services State Central Register.”
