Violent Fight at Magruder HS

[Anonymous]

Just saw this story on WJLA and as a parent it left me shocked and disgusted. A boy in the video received a fractured skull and the school did not call an ambulance. What is wrong with school administrators?

I really didn't need to see that!

Notice how the school is saying if you have information about what happened, contact the school.

HELL NO!!! You go directly to the POLICE!
You want to avoid having the school
sugarcoat the crimes under their noses.

Tell your kids to call 911 - PRONTO!

Well, really you do need to see that. It’s clear that Montgomery County can’t manage the kids in their school and can’t be trusted to keep the kids safe.
Maybe the schools should all be privatized if they are failing so badly. How hard is it to call an ambulance for a severely injured child before he dies? This is worse than a fraternity hazing death because there are so many so called adults there at the school. Where was the school nurse?

Were the police called?

How heartless are these students that they videotape this fight but don’t step in to aid the injured boy??

I would have hoped that some of the bystanders would have called 911 and an ambulance. They all have phones - why didn’t anyone call?

Poor ethics and no common sense?

Looks like mutual combat, which is perfectly legal. This stuff seemed to happen on a weekly basis when I attended a high school that was located out in BFE in the 80's. Honestly, most of the injuries occur due to fighting on a hard surface and the lack of someone stopping the fight when someone is taking too much damage.

You're sick. There's nothing legal there.

I'm 52. I attended MCPS schools. (not a W school either) I do not EVER remember seeing such fights - EVER.

Your acceptance of this behavior is truly disturbing.

What kind of kids are we releasing on society? We are education kids here to be sociopaths?? That is unacceptable.
Makes some sense though if the adults are also sociopaths that would rather let a kid die than admit that they can’t control the kids at their school.

How many of you allow your kids to get sucked into social media? to fuse their phones to their hands? to accept the lazy use of technology in our classrooms

We are raising kids with no empathy b/c they can't determine what's real and what's not. I'm no exaggerating. They can't socialize. They can't have civil debates. They can't even look you in the eye when conversing. They have withdrawal symptoms if they're not connected.

Filming a fight is like watching one on television.

DP here. I think this is completely unacceptable but PP, I went to Rockville HS 25 yrs ago and saw a couple of fights like this back then. It's a HS. Fights are bound to happen but the fact that the ambulance was never called is appalling.

Mutual combat is not legal in MD. Hard to prosecute if you charge both individuals, but it’s not a defense to assault charges (it is in VA)

‘We’ aren’t raising kids with no empathy. Maybe you are but ‘we’ are not,

‘We’ aren’t raising kids with no empathy. Maybe you are but ‘we’ are not,

And the adults in this scenario - the adults charged with shaping young people - have no empathy either. It’s very disturbing.
Go MCPS! Boys raping other boys, sexual assaults by teachers at multiple schools, fights with kids almost dying at school. Sounds great !
