A mother filed suit against a Lakewood police officer who broke her 17-year-old daughter’s jaw in November as he wrestled the girl out of a branch of the Lakewood Public Library.
Sabrina Robinson alleged in the lawsuit that Lakewood officer Kevin Jones used excessive force and violated the teen’s civil rights when he grabbed her, shoved her into a book cart, put her in a full nelson headlock and kicked her out of the library’s Madison Branch, all without provocation.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, also alleges that the city of Lakewood failed to train its officers how to treat children with dignity and respect, and that Jones and other officers failed to provide medical care to the girl as she lay bleeding on the front steps of the library.
“As parents, we expect that our children will be safe at a public library and that library employees will protect them from violence, not attack them,” attorney Subodh Chandra, who filed the suit on behalf of the mother, said in a news release.
