Tuesday’s Record reports it could be the first such lawsuit ever launched in Ontario.
Both suits have been filed in small claims court and each seek $25,000.
The woman claims her son has been beaten up repeatedly at Canadian Martyrs Catholic School on Confederation Drive.
She says the attacks started in September 2008.
