The school and district are investigating intentionality.

Child was hit in the head with a full Stanley cup on the bus, bled out with headache and dizzy spell. No altercations, child sitting on the exit seat.

Long story short child now stammers and has a tic (hours post impact). Several ER visits and no answers.

Hospital advised to investigate it (we believed it to be an accident based on child’s account; hospital stated the force doesn’t align with accident).

I’m praying it was an accident but, I’m not sure next steps if it’s not.

These are minors, can parents be held liable if we press charges? Other child is likely 14. This injured child is younger than grade peers.
