Black teen’s leg amputated after school employee repeatedly body slams him and sends him home on bus

A black Georgia teenager lost his leg about a month after a behavioral specialist working at his school threw him to the floor multiple times and then denied him medical treatment.

The 13-year-old student underwent amputation Tuesday, five weeks after the specialist — identified as Bryant Mosley — slammed him to the ground Sept. 12 at an alternative school in Muscogee County, reported the Ledger-Enquirer.

Tucker has not yet received those records, but she has notified the Muscogee County School District that the boy and his family intend to file a $5 million lawsuit.

The school district’s attorney declined comment, but a spokeswoman for the school board offered her “thoughts and prayers” to the boy and his family and promised a thorough investigation of the incident.

A behavioral specialist?  Is that code for something....?  Is the guy they send into a jail cell to beat the living shit out of a prisoner a behavioral specialist as well? What sorts of credentials are involved...where do you get training for that?

According to the article, the "behavioral specialist" worked for a company that specializes in providing "holistic behavioral" solutions for troubled teens in such alternative schools. Apparently, battery and failure to provide medical care (or even to notify the parents of the incident and the student's injuries) after the attack is included in holistic help.

I hope everyone involved gets fucking reamed in court. The poor kid.
