SAVANNAH GA —
The Catholic Diocese of Savannah is being sued.

The lawsuit accuses St. James Early Learning Center of hiring a woman as a teacher’s aide who not only had a lengthy criminal history but was actually under house arrest when she was hired.

Many people are wondering how someone with such a background could be hired, which is one of the reasons for the lawsuit.

According to court documents, the school never did a proper background check, and because of that, the lawsuit states, a student and her family suffered.
