A mother whose teenage son was sick in the adenovirus outbreak is suing the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation.
The lawsuit is believed to be the first filed in connection with the outbreak.
According to the suit, 15-year-old William DelGrosso contracted the virus because staff members were "careless and reckless" in providing patient care.
The illness has killed 10 children at the long-term care center.
