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.

Yes!!!! I was formally reprimanded by my principal that calling 911 is never allowed. This was after a child who has very violent tendencies was not able to be controlled by any staff member even security. The system is run by imbeciles who put all people at risk with their inane policies.

She did not protect herself. She got hit by a ball, which was wrong but she chased the boy into off campus/wooded area, grabbed a weapon and hit or threw it at him causing life long injuries, at least two surgeries and more.

And now look who is going to have life-long injuries. Not her. She made a choice.

Tell them to be in your classroom 24-7 to monitor the child to keep everyone safe.
