The family of a teenage boy is suing the charter school that he attended over a year after a bullying attack that left him with what they say are “permanent traumatic brain and cervical injuries.”
The January 2018 attack at Animo Westside Middle School and the staff’s ensuing response were captured on surveillance video.
The boy drifted in and out of consciousness and suffered from seizures during the attack and after it ended, the complaint claims. The mother didn’t initially know that her son had been attacked, the complaint alleges, saying that she initially thought he had only experienced a seizure before seeing the attack on the surveillance tape.
ABC News’ requests for comment from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which funds the school; the school itself; and the school’s principal and staff were not immediately returned. Dr. Morteza Shamsnia, a chief neurologist at Tulane Medical School, said in the lawsuit that the boy will likely have to seek treatment for the effects of the attack for the rest of his life.
