The families of two teenagers stabbed inside the Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation are planning to take legal action against the city.

The families of Matthew McCree and Ariane Laboy were joined by their attorneys Tuesday afternoon outside the high school, where they announced a notice of claim for the sum of $25 million in damages. McCree, 15, was killed in the stabbing, and Laboy, 16, was injured.

Police arrested 18-year-old student Abel Cedeno in the Sept. 27 stabbing. He is currently pending trial on a charge of first-degree manslaughter.

The claim against the city Department of Education and NYPD notes the absence of metal detectors at the school, improper handling of bullying and negligence from the teachers in the classroom at the time of the stabbing.

The attorney for Laboy's father says the teen still faces physical and emotional injuries from the incident and is in the process of being home-schooled. He has not returned to his high school since the stabbing.

News 12 reached out to the DOE and NYPD about the lawsuit and received a response from the city's Law Department saying that it will review the legal papers and respond accordingly.

The next court date for the criminal case is Nov. 15.
