Parents of girl who was raped and killed after she got off bus are suing her school for not telling them she was missing for 9 hours
The parents claim that had the school informed them that their daughter had not come to school she would have been alive now
The family of a 14-year-old girl is suing her school after the authorities there failed to inform them about their daughter going missing for about nine hours, during which time she was abducted on her way to school, raped, tortured and killed in an abandoned house.
Alianna DeFreeze was abducted by 45-year-old sex offender Christopher Whitaker in January 2017 while she was walking towards her charter school in Cleveland, Ohio, after getting off a school bus.
The accused was sentenced to death last year and is on death row.
And on Monday, two years after their daughter's death, Damon DeFreeze and Donnesha Cooper decided to file a lawsuit against Whitaker, her school and the City of Cleveland claiming wrongful death.
