Parents’ fury as seven-year-old boy is ‘hanged’ in school bathroom by fourth grade ‘bully’

A seven-year-old boy has been left traumatized after being ‘hanged’ in the bathroom of his primary school, according to his parents.

The second-grader at C. Paul Barnhart Elementary School in Waldorf, Maryland, was injured and hospitalized after the Nov. 15 incident.

The boy ended up in a toilet stall with his coat on a hook, reports said WCAX.

But the suspected perpetrator, a fourth-grader, ran for help after the boy began having trouble breathing, and the principal freed the boy and called 911.

The boy’s mother said on social media that he was found “foaming at the mouth and unconscious.”

He was diagnosed with neck contusion caused by blood trauma to the neck.

The second-grader’s family is questioning how the incident unfolded and whether there was bullying or racism.

“My son told me that the little boy said to him, ‘I’m going to show you how I used to treat people,’” the mother said.

“If you look at my son, he has spots under his eyes. He still has bruises on his neck from being suffocated,” the boy’s parents, who did not want to be identified, told WCAX.

‘He is traumatized. It will take time. This isn’t something he can just get over overnight.”

However, the school district has denied that there was any bullying in the incident.

“Two of our students were reportedly horseback riding in a school bathroom when a student’s coat became caught on the hook of a stable door,” the district said in a statement.

‘The student could not free himself and the other student involved could not help them either.

“This student left the restroom to seek help from staff and reported the incident to administrators.”

But the boy’s parents say the district’s explanation makes no sense to them.

She added: “If you’re riding, how do you get hooked? We need answers. I want answers, and we won’t stop until we get answers.”

The boy will not return to school, his parents said.

The parents are demanding that the school implement policies, such as hall monitors, to prevent bullying and classify students by age.

“I want to know why a fourth grader is in the same bathroom as a second grader?” Most schools have distributed them. “I find this very unacceptable,” she said.

Charles County Public Schools has opened an investigation into the incident.
