My son, 12 yrs old, was injured 2 times in 2 months at school. Neither time did the school follow their own "written" procedures to contact anyone, or help him. The first time he sat there for 2 hours while they left messages on my cell phone not calling my office or the alternate's on file. He had a bleeding split toe nail and a broken toe. This time they sent him home with a neck injury (badly strained) with another adult that I barely know and have not authorized. They did not attempt even once to contact me this time! I came home and found him in extreme pain. All of their procedures state clearly that any child with a head or neck injury was to be sent directly to an emergency facility.
Another thing is that he was activly participating in the afterschool wresteling practice when the neck injury occurred - I never gave my consent for him to be on the team!
Please help, the principals response to this one was "sometimes things fall through the cracks".2 times, 2 different people responsible for contacting me??
Thanks!
