Did you know that Student Was Beat Up By Security For Having Cell

Did you know that a high school in Queens is under fire after students said they were abused by school safety agents.

Now a teenager is suing.

Rojan Morgan is suing Hillcrest High School after he says several school safety agents assaulted him after he brought a cell phone to school.

"They took me to a back room, inside of the school and started to beat me," Morgan said.

"When I came to the school I was ignored and shut out and that's how this all started," mother Trudyann Morgan said.

Morgan's mother spoke at a rally outside the school, where the New York Civil Liberties Union and other community groups called for an investigation into what they say is a problem that's been going on for years.

"We're hearing stories about a separate room where children are taken into and then abused or roughed up by school safety agents," said Monami Maulik of the groups Desis Rising Up And Moving.

Kumar Heeralall said he was assaulted by safety agents last year.

"The whole issue started with a cell phone," Heeralall said. "They took me in a room they handcuffed me and started beating me up." more
