On April 29th at Ruth Eriksson Elementary in Canton, Michigan, a game of dodgeball went completely left after a student was hurt.
According to a police report, a student was struck in the face during a game of dodgeball by soon-to-be- fifth grader, Bryce Lindley. The unidentified child’s mother says her child has a medical condition that makes head injuries especially dangerous, according to 7 Action News.
A police report was filed after the incident and stated that Lindley intentionally threw the ball at the boy’s face. The parent says that her child
“sustained facial issue damage to his face. He had a black eye and a bruised nose.”
Lindley’s mother, Cameishi Lindley, says that her son was suspended from school for one day. But it didn’t end there. Cameishi received a phone call from Wayne County Juvenile Court on Wednesday that her son will be charged with Aggravated Assault.
Cameishi felt that the punishment should have ended with the school suspension. “I couldn’t believe it,” said Cameishi Lindley regarding the charge.
Lindley says that neither she or her son knew about the child’s medical condition, and feels he shouldn’t have been playing a game like that in the first place.
The case is expected to before a judge in Juvenile Court Aug. 1 for a pre-trial conference.
