In a serious violent incident that occurred during a trip to school, a 9-year-old boy was bitten by another student and his ear was severely injured. Now, through attorney Lavi Naim, his parents are asking the Jerusalem municipality, which finances the transportation to the special education schools, to find a solution and help their son continue to attend the educational institution. So far, the municipality has not responded to their request or responded to their letter.
The serious incident occurred last month, during The affected child, who is suffering from a variety of health problems, boarded a bus intended for special education children at one of the stations, and bit the 9-year-old's ear, according
to his parents The child, represented by attorney Lavi Naim, the reason for the case lies in the dismal state of the transportation services, the large number of children during the trip and the paucity of companions.
According to the parents, they now find themselves unable to use the transportation in which the child was injured, due to their understandable fear of the incident happening again, but they are unable to finance another solution. Because of this, in their opinion, the municipality must find an alternative solution and help subsidize the child's transportation to and from school.
"In light of the risk to which the child is exposed," Attorney Naim wrote to the Jerusalem Municipality, "if he returns to school on the same bus, with the offending boy or with other boys of whom he is afraid, you are required to immediately provide my client with private transportation services, as his parents requested Advocate Naim also pointed
out
that the child's medical condition alone requires private transportation services, and does not allow normal transportation with 14 other children and boys.

"The significant physical and mental damages caused to the child," wrote Attorney Naim, "are amplified in a situation where the minor is prevented from arriving by regular transportation to the special education facility and in a situation where his parents, who are barely making ends meet, are required to drive him back and forth to the educational facility located in another neighborhood in the city. It is the municipality's duty, as a guilty party, to trust the safety and health of the minor when he is being transported by the municipality, and after such a resounding and serious failure, to immediately take every possible step that will prevent the intensification of the damage caused and to allow, if only a little peace of mind for the parents and the minor in their difficult time."
The Jerusalem Municipality has not yet responded to the letter and has not yet complied with the requests of Adv. Naim.
