Special Needs Student gets a broken hip at school of all places

 

 

Luke Freeman, 15, a special needs student was at the Wayne Township School in Indianapolis when he claims that a security officer broke his hip.

 

Now if that’s not bad enough, they left him on the concrete floor for at least 2 hours before his mom arrived.


It was reported that the student was having an anxiety attack and he wanted to step outside to get some fresh air and before he was able to hit the door, security hit him, took him down to the ground and as they went down the security guard, that weighed in at 340 pounds, landed on the back of the 15 year old students leg and broke his pelvis.


Then the student was placed in an isolation room and left on the floor even though he complained of severe pain.


The student might have weighed in at 100 pounds, if that, he look like a pretty small guy on the video.


Luke Freeman was treated and his doctor confirmed he has a broken pelvis and it may require surgery.


About all the school had to say was they have launched an investigation and that they notified child protective services of the boy’s injury.

Is it me or does this sound like an over zealous security guard?

A 340 pound man could not control a 100 pound 15 year old without brutal force?

I understand the need to control a situation but I don’t understand a broken pelvis as a result of a tackle by a security guard.

Since this child has a history of anxiety attacks, I wonder if they allowed him to get fresh air in the past.

It should be interesting to find out more about this case.
