This is our neighborhood school and I am outraged. Our kindergarten son was beaten to a concussion within the first 60 days after the school year while a student there. Courageously, he named the two children whom he said beat him and pushed him to down (during which he hit his head), he named an adult that was on duty whom my son claimed told the two children to stop and not to harm him any more, and he told his teacher, AND our son provided a consistent account of the assault to my husband and I, his primary doctor, and the concussion specialist. We'd already informed the school when our son sustained minor injuries in a restroom while children tried to bust in on him in a restroom talk to see his (to keep it PC) " brown genitals. He was teased because of his hair, his skin color, and more. We provided this information to the administration too. Nothing substantial was done. So when it escalated to this, it should have been simple to resolve and we should have received support for our son instead of being treated as if our son was the aggressor. The other two children who were named as those who hurt our son weren't harmed or in any danger at any time. Asking them "did they do it" as if kids don't lie wasn't even an uttered thought when it came to them, yet OUR SON was questioned and indirectly invalidated by the alleged notion that there was no footage of the matter--not to mention the alerting of child protective services after we let the school know that he'd had a concussion --that report was not filed when we first mentioned the incident to the school despite his bruises and our complaints! Yet, somehow school admin. claimed the only video footage they only saw of him that day was him coming into the office (after being prompted to wait there during pickup when his teacher "randomly" left earlier than usual that day). . . Still, no one seemed to notice the bruises on his face (black eyes) and the bumps and burn-like bruises on the back of his close-shaven head (it was hot that day).
I am a graduate of this district from the 90's so my evaluation of the district, its history, and demographics are accurate and well-informed. Nobody knows anything, allegedly as they claim. The entire matter is dangerous and disheartening!
All in all, the entire matter seems skin-color related (as we are all of the HUMAN RACE, right) retaliation given the admin. had been informed of what happened to our oldest and dared to allow similar treatment to our Kinder son in this way without extending true care and concern in our favor as the injured party. Out of 4 children, the only child I have that hasn't been assaulted in this district is my pre-K son who doesn't attend school in the district. I have material evidence to prove all claims made here, so I accept nothing but an apology for their potential negligence and I will continue to tell our story until our son receives the Justice and equal care he earned! read more
