Parents trust that the people they leave their children with all day at school will teach them and help them grow as people. However, they also expect that they will properly care for them if and when they get hurt.
Now one Ohio mom is demanding answers from her 7-year-old son’s school after he broke his ankle while at school. Not only did they fail to contact her after the incident, but they also sent him back to class with an ice pack and let him suffer for hours until the school day finished.
While playing in gym class at Miles Park Elementary School in Cleveland, Akeem Jones injured his ankle, and when he told the substitute teacher, he was sent to the nurse to get an ice pack. Despite complaining about the pain, they sent him back to class and had him sit in tears until his mom, Sierra Jones, arrived to pick him up.
“The kids ran straight to my car and said, ‘Akeem is crying, Akeem is hollering.’ Before I even walked in the school I hear my baby screaming and hollering,” Jones said. After seeing how much pain her second-grader was clearly in, she rushed him to the hospital, where doctors discovered he had broken his ankle and would need to be in a cast for at least six weeks.
“I felt very sad that I couldn’t get to my son when it first happened to help him. I didn’t get a call from a teacher a principal, nobody,” said Jones, who can’t understand why the school didn’t contact her when her son was injured and in pain.
Watch the entire video below to see what the school has to say after failing to follow their own protocol.
