The family of a boy who was bullied on a school bus has filed a federal lawsuit against the Eugene, Oregon, School District.
The suit, filed Wednesday, seeks an unspecified payment for damages and attempts to force the district to institute anti-bullying policies.
The incident, recorded by a camera on the parked bus, gained national attention after it was shown on newscasts throughout Oregon.
"When I saw the tape and I actually saw what was happening to him, it was much more violent than my mind could imagine. And it just broke my heart," the boy's mother, Ciel Woodruff, told CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes.
The lawsuit, flied by Roger and Ciel Woodruff, contends that their son Casey was regularly attacked, beginning in 2001, when he was an 11-year-old student at Willakenzie Elementary School.
