7 year old 'hanged' in an elementary school bathroom

Описание: Concerned parents of a second grader say their son was hung in the school bathroom by a fourth grader. The boy is alive and recovering from severe bruising on his neck and face, his parents said.

“Me and the dad was actually both at work,” the boy’s mom, choosing to remain anonymous, told 7News' Lianna Golden. “They [the school officials] said that he was choking, so we’re thinking that he was at lunch and he’s choking off of food.”

As soon as they spoke with the school’s principal, who rode in the ambulance with the child, they discovered the situation was much more severe.

According to the parents, the principal told them she had found their son on a hook in the school's bathroom.

“She said before she got him down, he was foaming out the mouth, unconscious, and it was from horse playing. She told me they were in the bathroom playing, and my son jumped up, and his jacket got caught on the hook in the stall. That doesn’t make sense to me. A hook is 5 feet tall. My son is only three feet, eight [inches], and she even told me I was like, ‘horse playing?’ She said, ‘Yeah, I don’t believe it either.’ So my thing is, if you don’t believe it — why would you put that narrative out there?”

The school’s principal, Carrie Burke, released a statement Friday afternoon, saying that the two students were "horseplaying."
