THE RECORD
MIDLAND PARK – A borough couple are claiming in court papers that the principal of a Midland Park school reported them for child abuse and neglect in retaliation for a complaint the couple filed with the state Department of Education about the prolonged bullying of their child.
A lawsuit, filed May 21 in Bergen County Superior Court, alleges that Midland Park Jr./Sr. High School Principal Nicholas Capuano made “defamatory” statements about Cyril and Cathy Burke to the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency with “actual knowledge” the statements were false. He did so, the suit said, as retribution for the Burkes’ April 11, 2014, complaint to the Education Department regarding several years of “harassment, intimidation, and bullying” their child faced while attending the school.
If true then this person should be fired and prosecuted.

What was the outcome of this complaint? This is not a hillbilly town but we should know what happened.
