Board Expels Brooks High Student, Charged with Assault

All he gets is 365 days out of school? He'll probably love that!

The DA should bring charges against him.

“the school board voted unanimously to expel the 10th-grader for 365 days from Lauderdale County schools”.

So you think the DA should file charges? Read your topic to this thread!

I think there were assault charges against him before the School board considered any discipline against the youth!

 Most likely it will be presented to a grand jury which could upgrade any current charge he has now.

 Do you think he needs only punishment or is there any possibility he can be reformed? More gossip.

All he gets is 365 days out of school? He'll probably love that! The DA should bring charges against him. He's sadistic & a threat to any child he comes in contact with. This whole story almost smells like a cover up, one of those brush it under the rug type deals. The victim will never be the same & his abuser should be tried as an adult since he made a decision to cause harm. He should pay the consequences in prison.

 =======================

Looks like being expelled is the least of his worries.

KILLEN, AL (WAFF) -

One student faces felony charges and another was in the hospital after an assault at Brooks High School.

According to police, a 15-year-old student attacked a 14-year-old student in the band room during the last period of the day on Thursday.

The alleged attacker gave police a statement to police on Friday afternoon and turned himself in on Saturday to juvenile officials. The student was charged with second degree assault, which is a felony.

Under the law, it fits the criteria that he used a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument to cause serious bodily injury.

Because this case involves juveniles, names have not been released. Superintendent Jennifer Gray said the district is working closely with local police in the investigation.

"Any time something happens to one of our students, we take it very seriously. Student welfare is a top priority, so it's a good time for us to take a step back and take a look at the things we have in place and see how we can improve upon those from this point on," Gray said.

The victim was taken to ECM Hospital after the attack and has been there ever since. He's expected to be released Tuesday, and will continue his recovery at home.

Authorities said they are still working to determine a motive for the attack.

The attacker rammed a drumstick so hard into the sitting area of the victim that he required surgery.  That by itself should warrant jail time and permanent expulsion from any non disciplinary/correctional school.  He should also be listed as a sex offender in my opinion.
