Ga. Teen Has Leg Amputated After Being Repeatedly Slammed to the Ground by School Employee
Employee was a "behavioral specialist" who slammed the kid to the ground a few times. Sounds like "failure to follow instructions."
The kid was 13 years old.

This could end up being expensive for Columbus before all is said and done.

The incident happened on Sept. 12th and the boy's leg began feeling numb a month later. In the article the families attorney says the school failed to call for an ambulance the day of the incident. So a whole month later and the boy was never taken to a doctor?

I'm not taking sides necessarily but when stuff like this happens there's usually plenty of blame to spread around.

Not sure where you got it was a month later. It was during the same school day.

Sorry, but there is simply no excuse for this.The employee should be in prison.

Sept. 12 to Oct. 13 is approx. 1 month.

I would like to know what happened in that time to render medical treatment to the boy, before placing any responsibility on the school for the amputation.

I think that's a fair question for anyone to ask.

Video appears to show that a teenager was carried out of a Columbus school after an alleged incident that led to his right leg being amputated, Channel 2 Action News reported.

This is apparently at odds with a statement issued Friday by the Muscogee County School District, which said that 13-year-old teen loses leg Montravious Thomas “was up and walking and not in distress,” the station reported.
