A 13-year-old Georgia student who was allegedly "thrown to the floor" by his teacher was scheduled to have his right leg amputated after undergoing four surgeries, his attorney said.
"As anyone can anticipate, there was certainly an emotional response," the boy's attorney, Renee Tucker, told the Ledger Enquirer.
The student, Montravious Thomas, was in class at the Muscogee County School District's AIM program, dedicated for students removed from their schools because of their misconduct, when behavioural specialist Bryant Mosley slammed the student to the floor due to behavioural issues, according to a police report.
Montravious was heading to the main office to call his mother to pick him up, Tucker told the Ledger Enquirer.
Instead, the boy's teacher followed him as he was exiting the room and slammed him to the ground, she said.
Mosley allegedly sent the boy home on a school bus without notifying his family.
Tucker said that the family plans to file a lawsuit because the boy was wrongfully treated without the proper medical attention.
Valerie Fuller, a spokesperson for the Muscogee County School District, released a statement confirming that the school district is investigating the matter "to determine all of the facts."
