Atlantic City Principal Indicted for Failing to Report Mayor's Alleged Child Abuse

Constance Days-Chapman faces charges for not notifying authorities about abuse claims made by the mayor’s teenage daughter.

Constance Days-Chapman, principal of Atlantic City High School, has been indicted on charges including official misconduct and child endangerment.
Days-Chapman allegedly did not report claims made by the mayor's daughter that she was being physically abused by her parents.
The mayor, Marty Small, and his wife, La'Quetta, who is the superintendent of schools, were charged in April with multiple counts of child abuse.
Despite the daughter's allegations, Days-Chapman reportedly denied being informed of the abuse and failed to notify child welfare authorities as required by law.
The prosecutor's office claims Days-Chapman instead met with the Smalls to discuss the matter, and no report was filed with New Jersey's Division of Child Protection and Permanency.
