Student’s Leg To Be Amputated After Altercation With Teacher

COLUMBUS, GA. A 13-year-old student who said he was “thrown to the floor” multiple times by a teacher at Edgewood Student Services Center on Sept. 12 is expected to have his leg amputated today as a result of the alleged incident, according to his attorney.

Attorney Renee Tucker, who represents the boy and his mother, said the student is still being treated at the Egleston Children’s Hospital in Atlanta. His family learned the news about the required amputation over the weekend.

Tucker said the student, who was previously enrolled at East Columbus Middle School, was trying to leave the classroom and go to the main office so he could call his mother to pick him up.

That’s when the teacher stopped him for an unknown reason and slammed him to the floor to prevent him from leaving, Tucker said. The student said he was thrown to the floor a second time when he tried to leave again.

“I don’t think there’s any explanation that a teacher can give as to why he didn’t want him to go to the administrative office to call his mother,” the attorney said, who was hired two weeks after the alleged incident.
[....]
Tucker said school officials initially told the boy they would call an ambulance but decided against it later on.

The teacher who was reportedly involved then carried him to the school bus and sent him home without notifying his family, she said.

“They placed an injured student on the school bus,” said Tucker, who stated that her client told officials that his leg was numb, on Oct. 13.

Tucker said she submitted an open records request to the Muscogee County School’s board attorney on Sept. 26 requesting any video footage along with more than 50 documents. That includes records concerning the teacher’s training, the teacher and assistant principal’s personnel record, the rules and regulations for physically restraining students, policies for transporting students on school buses, and policies and procedures about rendering aid to students.

Tucker said she the school board’s attorney agreed to release the documents once they’ve been collected.

Tucker said they still plan to file a lawsuit based on how the student was reportedly restrained and the alleged absence of medical aid. She said the amount to be pursued has yet to be determined.

They released the teacher's name and what his excuse was.

Columbus police have released the name of the teacher accused of throwing a 13-year-old student to the floor during an alleged Sept. 12 incident at Edgewood Student Services Center.

Bryant Mosley was listed on the police report as a behavioral specialist for the AIM program in which the student was enrolled. It’s an alternative school program for students who have been temporarily removed from their assigned school because of violations of behavior rules.

According to the report, the teacher said he was responding to “behavioral issues.”

“On Sept. 12, 2016, at around 1350 hours, I, Lt. Consuelo Askew was working a part time job at the AIM program located at 3538 Forest Road, when I was called to Room 109,” Askew wrote in the report. “Upon arrival at room 109, Mr. Bryant Mosley (Behavioral Specialist) advised me that he had to physically restrain a student due to behavioral issues.”

No arrests have been made in connection with the incident, Sgt. Art Sheldon confirmed this afternoon.

I'd like to know the exact medical reason why amputation is necessary because the solution is so extreme. And it's hard to believe that a 13 yr old in an alt school for students with behavioral problems was a limp rag of a victim as his family and attorney implied. I bet he fought too.
I suspect that a lot of people are burned out and gave up on this boy.
 
Body slamming the student three times is a huge difference from restraining him. I hope there is video to help clarify the parts of both the teacher and the student. However I do believe the school handled the situation badly by not notifying the parents and sending the student on the bus instead of calling medics. They second guessed themselves at a time they shouldn't have...when they had a minor in their care complaining about numbness and for whom they were reasonably expected to keep him safe. I wonder if there was a spinal injury of some kind.

I agree completely mybum62.
I used to work with mentally retarded and autistic adults, and when restraining them we were to always use an "open handed" style of restraint - meaning that we could not hold/grab arms or legs, but only suppress movement with open palms and a "push back" type of resistance to control swings or kicks at us.
If we encountered a situation, then someone was on the phone to social services at the same time we went into restraint mode, and once they arrived with an MD, we were relieved from the client/patient at that time.

I can not fathom any situation with teens, especially those with behavioral issues/disorders that could possibly permit anyone to slam them to the floor, wall or lockers.
Period.
There are proper ways to restrain people from hurting themselves and others without causing serious physical injury to either the person being restrained, or the individual doing the restraining.
Rough handling, punching and body slamming of students happened daily back in the dark ages when I was in high school, and it sickens me to know that it's still going on 45 fucking years later. *smh*

This will end up settled out of court for an undisclosed amount, unless the school board's stupid enough to let this go through to trial. Regardless, this boy will now need a prosthesis, wheelchair and crutches for the rest of his life.

wow amputated .... that should slow the little fucker down a bit.
I don't know what this kid was doing but he never heard no the first time God said it.
As a parent i'd be pissed and I would sue but the irony would be too hard to ignore.

Airlifted from the local hospital to Atlanta, plus four surgeries, this kid's knee was destroyed!
 
Being carried to the bus, ugh.
My mind separates this into two events. The first is the injury, and we don't know how that went down. Second, the failure to immediately call an ambulance and notify his mom.

It's the second part I find verging on criminal.

I agree entirely. I worked with the same population of individuals for 30 yrs. There are many ways to safely handle behavioral issues and restrain folks with behavioral issues. Apparently this individual never got that training!! School district facing huge lawsuit.
 
I wouldn't sign the restraint agreements at my son's school. They restrained him once anyway and hurt his back.
 
I think Mr. Mosley lost patience and went all WWE on this poor kid. I don't beleive he was thinking about whether or not his actions were going to result in injury. He was a "red zone" case at that point.
 
His family who 'raised' the POS will get a ton of money.

Society will be slightly safer because POS kid will have to limp after his victims now.

Teacher who can't hold it together will never teach again.

Oh well, 2/3 positive outcomes is ok I guess.

That's crap. He's 13. He's a kid.Yes, I know 13 year old boys can be large. But he's still a kid. With behavioural issues. You have no idea if's Autism, which mean he many not have really understood what he was being told, or any other issues. Let's find out before you call a kid a POS.

As for the teacher? Fuck him. He shouldn't ever teach again!! A kid had his leg cut off!! I have niece with Autism, I've been through restraint training, being a teacher at a school for kids with problems he'd have to have been through it too.

A limp? He had his leg removed.

Do you know more of this story than is printed here?

Why is the kid a POS? What fucking "victims" are you talking about?

More on the injuries student sustained:
"...“He has undergone at least four surgeries as doctors are still working to save the use of his right leg. The majority of his injuries include a dislocated right knee, nerve damage and loss of blood to his right foot," said Tucker...." (IOW, the lower leg 'died')
http://www.wtvm.com/story/33395276/alleged-teacher-assault-on-columbus-student-under-investigation

At least 3 adult faculty members witnessed the incident, and did nothing to intervene or assist in getting medical treatment, more here:
http://www.wtvm.com/story/33441863/...us-student-school-attack-did-not-assist-child

"Specialist" (not a teacher) did not work for school
"...MBS “specializes in individualizing holistic behavior approaches to produce a healthy and productive environment that fosters positive growth,” the company’s website says...":
http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/local/article109035352.html

I haven't read anything in five articles that even alleges that the 13 year old was violent, or had any "victims", whatsoever.
Do you have an inside source, or are you just pulling this claim out of your ass?
What I have read indicates that he was repeatedly physically slammed on the floor in an extremely violent fashion that caused injuries so severe that four surgeries couldn't save his leg, and school officials are attempting to pass this off as merely an incident of "physical restraint".
Hardly what one would call a "holistic behavioral approach", in accordance with the MBS website statement.

He has been permanently maimed - his leg has been amputated below the knee, and both physical and psychological impacts are going to affect him for the rest of his life.
He will need continued counseling, physical therapy, and prosthetic upgrades - if he's able to walk with a prosthesis, not everyone can - for years to come, possibly even more surgeries as his leg bone continues to grow where it's been amputated; yet you have the temerity to belittle the fact that his family is suing the school system for his injuries, treatment costs, prosthesis, and suffering?
Wow...just, wow.
Yet, there's little, if any, doubt in my mind that if this was a child of yours, or a loved one, that you'd be screaming at the top of your lungs for fiduciary compensation and pressing criminal charges against every single person involved and/or witnessing an act that leaves your 13 year old relative in a similar condition.
:pompous:

When my son was 10 and hospitalized in PA for trying to accept that he was given a life with Aspergers and "felt like he was on one planet and everyone else was on another one" and " just wanted to find a way out of this world," The only bed available was in a psychiatric hospital we later found out was mainly for kids with behavioral problems and who found it fun to push my "weird" son's buttons to watch him explode. When he did they'd inject him with Benadryl and put him in the "quiet" room. When we finally found out and confronted them, they told us it was allowed bc we had approved Benadryl for him when he was admitted because he has allergies and it was pollen season! Uuhh wtf not to shoot him up with a damn needle! After hearing that we immediately drove to the facility to check him out of there but ....oh wait..you can't check him out for 72 hours without Dr. Permission. Most helpless I've ever felt in my life!

I'm sorry you and your son had to go through that.

My heart just broke for your beautiful boy and you. I don't care how long ago it was, that's horrible. I would go to prison if someone did that to my niece!! Anyone with ASD is beautiful and amazing and just because their minds are like MAC's in a PC world does't mean there is anything weird or wrong with them, they're just wired differently. Where we use a small part of our brains @JackBurton is a good example of this, ASD kids and adults use their entire brains to process everything. That's why they can be overloaded with sensory input. And why they seem to "explode" sometimes.
 
I appreciate our mutual feelings towards aspies! Just waiting for Lith to come in and tell me to quit whining and playing the victim!

...And it will be on record permanently, just like an arrest that was never prosecuted.
It's never a good thing to have a child services investigation on your record, no matter how outstanding a parent one may be; there is always a possibility that it could be used against you in the future.
 
this is why you should only cuff little buggers up the back of the head.
way less chance of damaging something important since they are already messed.
