USA Herald spoke with Brittany Black, then Associate Consultant for Elanco, who approached us with her family’s story. For privacy reasons, Black’s son is referred to only as “A.”
An Indiana mom says she was forced to move her son from Hamilton Southeastern School District (HSE), one of the top-rated school districts in the state, to one of the worst-rated, to protect him from escalating incidents of bullying including an incident that resulted in a concussion and 11 weeks of “cognitive rest.”
During the beginning of A’s second-grade year in HSE, another child became angry during a soccer game and lashed out at A, head-butted, and tripped him. A hit his head on the hard playground surface.
He complained of a “hot neck” to the teacher on playground duty, who sent him to the nurse. Black says the nurse gave A an ice pack for his neck and put him on the bus home instead of investigating the matter further.
