School denies responsibility for slip and fall of 10-year-old

The family of a 10-year-old girl in Hampton is seeking answers after she slipped and fell at Bassette Elementary School in May. Despite the school denying liability, her mother, Angelic Alleyne, disclosed that her daughter, London Elliott, slipped on a freshly cleaned cafeteria floor and suffered serious injuries. London recounted the pain of being moved to a wheelchair and undergoing surgery to place pins in her hip. Alleyne has been burdened by mounting medical expenses and lost paid time off as she cared for her daughter post-surgery. The school district emphasized its commitment to student safety but declined to share details on the incident. Alleyne expressed frustration with the lack of transparency and is exploring legal options to ensure adequate accountability and transparency in similar situations moving forward.
