This is (l-r) K.N. (16), J.F. (13), Eric Seitz, Marchet Fullum and Sandee Niblock. Marchet Fullum and her daughter J.F. (13) and Sandee Niblock and her daughter K.N. (16) are with attorney Eric Seitz at a press conference. The parents are among those who have filed a class action complaint against the superintendent and the Hawaii Department of Education and various principals and officials in U.S. District Court on behalf of student victims of bullying and harassment. The lawsuit says they have been harmed by the department’s disregard for the safety and well being of children and its failure to comply with federal regulations.
