Students Sue Tulsa Schools Over Alleged Beating

TULSA, Oklahoma - A family is suing Tulsa Public Schools claiming their children were beaten by a security guard. It's just the beginning of the legal process, but the allegations are significant - two children beaten to the point they were unconscious and had to be taken from school by paramedics.

The lawsuit was just filed, by 18-year-old Tony Thomas and his younger brother, who claim a security guard for Tulsa Public Schools assaulted them. The guard has yet to be identified.

The two boys attend Hale High School, where they claim at the end of school one day - a security guard pulled one of them aside.

"The younger brother was accused of stealing a cell phone. He was corralled into the security guards office and the other brother heard about his brother being in there, went in there to find out what was going on and both boys were beaten severely by the officer," said attorney Dan Smolen.
