According to the complainant, Patrick, and witnesses, Mrs. Loriann Karikas fell due to her disability. It is alleged that a school teacher, Desiree Serra, witnessed the fall, laughed, and subsequently contacted school officials to report the incident without offering assistance. Subsequently, Mrs. Loriann Karikas and her family, including Patrick, returned home. Shortly thereafter, school personnel, including Desiree Serra, the principal, assistant principal, and a social worker, arrived at their residence.

We heard our mother crying across the house and my mother named loriann Karikas said " I didn't do anything" The complainant asserts that the school teacher falsely accused Mrs. Loriann Karikas of being intoxicated, despite her presenting medical documentation verifying her disability to the attending officers. The police were shown proof of my mother's disability. The police landed up leaving with nothing because they had nothing against her. The scumbag school teacher had the balls to say to Dale the next day" I tried to help you out".
