Officials at a Maryland school district are being slammed with criticism after they claimed an older bully hung a second-grader by the neck in a bathroom as a former of “horseplay.”
The incident happened on Nov. 15, causing the second-grader’s mother to speak on social media. The children involved reportedly attend C. Paul Barnhart Elementary School in Waldorf, Maryland.
“My child who is a second grader was hung in the boys’ bathroom by a fourth grader,” the mother stated. The post featured the second-grader in a hospital after being hung by the older bully. “I received the most traumatizing phone call from the school stating that my child was being rushed to children’s hospital in NW.
The mother also stated she felt anger and was seeing red. Thankfully, her son is ok physically following the incident.
“The principal went into the bathroom [and] found my baby foaming out the mouth [and] unconscious,” she continued. “I walked into the trauma room with 8-10 doctors surrounding my son.”
