The attorney for the parents of an 8-year-old boy whose teacher allegedly posted his misbehavior in class on social media has filed legal documents that are a precursor to a lawsuit with the Norwalk town clerk’s office.

Jeff Forte, the attorney for parents William Hornyak and Mary Ann Choeun, filed a statutory notice of claim and a preservation of evidence order with the town clerk Wednesday. The notice of claim is required to be filed for claims against a municipality. It preserves the right to sue within six months of the incident. The boy was allegedly videotaped on Jan. 18.
