    how does the school find an unconscious 8 year old in the bathroom and just check his vitals and send him home. finding a student unconscious on campus should’ve immediately yielded an ambulance and a mandatory trip to the hospital. that’s absolutely unconscionable. these are the people responsible for the health and well-being of children? good fucking lord.

      Right? Who calls the mom to take the kid to the hospital? Bullshit ex post facto explanation. This should have been an immediate 911 EMS call.

      If they have a nurse who can properly assess vitals on staff (RPN and up), there’s no need for a 911 call since EMS and the nurse at the hospital would likely send him home without seeing a doctor anyway.

      In this incident, they claim the nurse said take him to the hospital, implying there was no immediate danger. If the kid had gone, it may have come out - “how did this happen?” hopefully leading to police involvement.

      Granted, there’s no fucking way in hell the school should have failed to notify the parents about what actually happened and what was going on.

    How did a 8 years old child know how to kill himself? So heartbreaking. May the angel rest in peace and may his parents get justice and closure.

      The know how is the easiest answer in the world of the internet... The why would an 8 year old even think of suicide as a concept is what floors me.

    School officials however claim in a statement that a school nurse called Reynolds to pick Gabriel up and take him to the hospital, although the statement did not clarify what was wrong with Gabriel at the time of the incidnet.

    (I promise I didn’t quote that for the typo at the end). The school has options in their defense, and can and will likely start to use the the nurse as a scapegoat in this case, and continue to ignore the bullying and pattern of violence prevalent in their school. I sincerely doubt this is the first time this was visibly ignored, only that this is the first time they were publicly caught. I also sincerely doubt this nurse was the only one to be aware of such violence. I feel so much pain for the parents of this child.

    Honestly, they should be sued and the kids need to be on trial. I don’t care how old you are when you hit someone till they’re unconscious you deserve to be in jail. The school hid evidence, I hope all officials involved in this case are relieved of their duties for not being truthful to his mother.

      That’s funny thinking coming from someone commenting on theroot...

      So you want to make a career criminal of an already at risk child by “punishing” it when punishment is not needed because it’s obvious that the child is beyond punishment as a teachable moment when they commit such violence.

      Yep, fucking makes perfect sense! I find it funny how fixing mental health issues in criminals and children is seemed as somehow being too nice and easy on crime when all that attitude does is make more fucking crime.

      That “at-risk” argument isn’t unlimited. You can’t claim “my kid is ‘at-risk’ as a poor and/or minority person and should never be prosecuted no matter what he does.” This wasn’t a minor scuffle or rude remarks to a teacher. If these kids beat another kid unconscious, you can save the school-to-prison-pipeline talk. At that point, they belong in juvie.

    I hope its not just a lawsuit against the school. I want those bullies to be punished, severely for the rest of their lives.
