Summary
A seven-year-old girl, Karmin, was suspended after being denied a break during a bullying incident at Belmonte STEAM Academy — a decision her mother says ignored her daughter’s documented needs. The suspension, later reversed, triggered a mental health crisis, leading to psychiatric hospitalization. Karmin’s mother now alleges the school failed to protect her from relentless bullying and inadequate accommodations, filing a complaint with the Massachusetts education department. As lawmakers debate limiting suspensions for young students, this case highlights the urgent tension between discipline and support in schools.
