A private school in Brasilia was ordered to pay $ 20,000 in moral damages to a child with Asperger's Syndrome, a disorder of the autistic spectrum, after expel her under the justification of "insecurity in the school environment." The decision is in the first instance and the institution will appeal.

The shutdown took place in May 2014, in the middle of the school year --Amir Robemboim Bliacheris, 11, was attending the 6th grade of elementary school at the College logosophical González Pecotche in the North Wing.

The school says he was unaware of the student's illness, interpreting their expression needs as a "pre-teen student."

In fact, to be enrolled in high school, Amir still had no diagnosis of autism, but had previously been identified a children's depression. The child sometimes had --principalmente verbais-- outbreaks of aggression and critical sensitivity to noise.

The incidents, such as fights in sports court and other disagreements with colleagues, were considered by the schools an "accumulation of excesses" that led to the expulsion.

"At the time the World Cup, came a girl with the shirt of Argentina and he hissed and showed anger. It was suspended. Things began to take a huge proportion," says the civil servant Marcos Bliacheris the father of Amir, who came from Porto Alegre (RS) to Brasilia, with the family, depending on the job.

The President of the Governing Council of Logosophical Foundation (the school maintains), Jose Marcio Moreira Correa, said the school "did everything that was possible, even with parents to ensure the proper development of the student."

Mark contests the lack of special treatment that the child's condition required. Amir would have had, for example, to delete --and refazer-- four times the contents of the notebook, because of poor handwriting. "The coordination of it is bad. After so much repetition, it exploded and can say horrible things," says the father.

Another remarkable episode to Bliacheris family was the time it was requested from the school that Amir was positioned in the front seats, for the mess the "precipice" the stunned. The father says that, in principle, the request was denied, since the child would be "very large" and hinder others. The institution would have given only after much persuasion.

"I treated him as a child, but as a threat," he complained.

The College logosophical says not comment on specific episodes related to students or former students, "to avoid exposure."

Defect

In early December, the judge Wagner Person Vieira, the 5th Civil Court of Brasilia, upheld the boy's family's request, considering that there was a "defect in the provision of educational services designed to meet the publisher's needs, which imposes ( ...) the defendant's obligation to compensate the moral damage ".

The defense denied negligence, arguing that the school coordinator conveyed the Amir individual guidance and episodes of aggression "were not treated with due importance by parents." Also maintained that the shutdown decision was "justified in detail in the minutes" and "resulted from the regular exercise of law."

The judge, however, opted for condemnation of the college.
