It sounds like the teachers/staff ignored the injury and told him to sit down. Thankfully he had a phone and called his mom, which is when they took action. The girl should be suspended for a long time.

Bullying is becoming rampant in MCPS— including teachers and even school admins against the so called “unpopular” teachers regardless of their quality as educators.
Students are copying what they’re seeing.

He threw a ball. It’s unclear if it was on purpose. He has special needs and probably bad aim. She hit him hard with a weapon.

Enough with using special needs as an excuse! How do you know the girl doesn't have some sort of special needs herself?

Was she really called stupid, fat and ugly?

The story is definitely more complicated.

The mom posted pics of Lenny from when he was brought into the hospital. He was wearing a white t shirt. You can see the blood on the shirt. I don't know of any adult who sees blood on a kids shirt and doesn't try to get or offer medical assistance.

Keep blaming anyone but the parents. See how that is working out?

Jesus Christ, these kids are animals. What are we doing wrong?

She should be in a psych ward.

Of course that does not justify the girl hitting him on the head, she should know better but I don’t think she’s the monster they are trying to make her out to be.

There is no excuse for her to retaliate like she did as it had to be pretty brutal to cause a life long injury, a few major surgeries and life long care. This child probably isn't fully recovering from this. MCPS is to blame as they failed ot supervise the kids or handle the issues.

Not really, and that underscores the dangerousness of the situation. People can and do die from punches to the face and other hits to the head that in other patients don't result in similar or even significant injury. Bottom line: it doesn't take the strongest, most evil child imaginable to cause another child a catastrophic injury.

All of those things are deliberate and should have accountability.

It's an issue of culpability, not deliberation. Sure the act was deliberate, nobody questions that.

DCUM is primed to believe any girl who uses violence to defend herself is mentally ill.

I'm glad the mom is speaking out. MCPS seems to have a way of coercing parents to keep quiet about what happened to their child.

You don't defend yourself by hitting from behind.

Yeah, I am a teacher who got reprimanded by the SpEd teacher and the assistant principal for not ignoring a student who entered my classroom by kicking three chairs.
Apparently telling a student “ this is not how we enter a classroom, please pick up the chairs” promotes negativity towards my subject.

No. You didn't read what happened

He targeted her she finally had enough.
She is a child for god's sake.

There is no one here at fault except for adults who handled this poorly.
