No kid was “almost killed.”
Both kids look like the wanted to fight, one made a a bad call. That is why kids fight, the parents are being pussies
I hope the kid is ok, but why is the parent absolving their kid of the choice he made to fight? He didn’t have a gun to his head. His kid is in charge of his own actions—the principal should not be held responsible for kids who choose to fight on school grounds.
First of all, there has been no statement as to WHY the fight happened. Was it consensual or did one boy start and another boy defend himself? Was there bullying that occurred before the incident? I would hope MCPS would investigate deeper to resolve the issues and prevent future acts of violence at Magruder.
Second, school administrators knew that these boys were in a fight. They had physical injuries that could be seen. There were witnesses, security footage, and cell phone footage to document how violent the fight was. Medical attention for both boys was warranted. Calling EMS at least lets someone with real medical training advise as to if an ER trip is warranted. It's better to err on the side of caution. One child has a fracture skull and a blood clot in his brain.
Finally, calling 911 would not have only provided medical attention for the boys, it would have alerted the police of the incident on a day the resource officer was not in the school. This incidence deserves a police investigation. Delaying bringing in the police interferes with their ability to investigate.
