Principal sued by parents of child with nut allergy

The parents of a 7-year-old girl with a peanut allergy contend in a federal lawsuit that an elementary school principal failed to adequately ensure her safety and took retribution against them for informing her classmates about her disability. The parents allege that someone from Ashland City Elementary School filed a complaint with Tennessee officials suggesting they were abusing their child through Munchausen by Proxy, a type of mental illness in which a caretaker either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it appear that the child is sick.
