A Missouri public school is pursuing a complaint against a mother for withdrawing her son and daughter from the school and teaching them at home, after an apparent threat to the daughter's life at the school.
The case involves Moberly, Mo., mother Anita Nicoli, who withdrew her daughter and a son from Moberly Middle School recently after what she has described as a two-year campaign of intimidation by other students.
Multiple telephone messages left with officials at the school district were not returned. But Nicoli told World Net Daily she is accused of "educational neglect" by social services, based on a complaint from the school.
"Three days after I pulled my kids out, the school apparently wrote a letter to juvenile authorities (with a complaint)," she told World Net Daily. She was notified by juvenile authorities and went in to talk with them.
She is being helped by the Home School Legal Defense Association.
