North Bergen school didn't get immediate medical attention for girl, 5, after head injury, family says
By Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal
A 5-year-old North Bergen girl suffered a head injury after being pushed by another student and school officials put her on a bus to another school rather than getting her immediate medical attention, an attorney for the girl's family said.
The attorney, Robert B. Linder of Englewood, said a notice of tort is being filed today in anticipation of the filing of a lawsuit. Among those expected to be name in the suit are the township, the school district and the superintendent of schools.
"There was obviously a lack of supervision of the children and they should not have put her on a bus after the incident, 911 should have been called immediately,” Linder said.
On Dec. 20, 5-year-old Kaorie Spearman was at Lincoln Elementary School waiting in line to board a bus to be taken to Horace Mann School when she was pushed to the ground by another kindergarten student, said Linder, adding that she struck her head and face on the ground.
Bedbugs making life a nightmare for disabled woman at North Bergen senior building
By Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal
An 86-year-old disabled woman living in a North Bergen senior housing building says recurring bedbug infestation has her at wit's end after she's had to throw out numerous items, including clothing and mattresses.
And to make matters worse, each time her home at Cullum Towers on Grand Avenue is riddled with bedbugs, her healthcare aides are barred by their company from visiting the frail woman who is hard of hearing and can has a difficult time walking.
“The people here are very nice and I hate what is happening to them,” said the woman, who asked to remain anonymous because she fears complaints about the bedbugs will anger management. North Bergen Housing Authority spokesman Phil Swibinski said no tenants' complaints would ever lead to reprisals.
Over the past four years she says she has had to replace her bed twice and her couch three times. The woman’s son said she was once hospitalized due to infections on her legs cause by scratching her bedbug bites.
North Bergen officials say they have been analyzing the way bedbug complaints are handled and a proactive screening program is in the works.
