\"William
William with bruises<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

William was walking on the playground at Mitchell Child Development Center, and a metal construction fence felt on him; gave him a big bump on his forehead and several scratches on his face; I also found some scratches on his back and his right feet.<\/p>\n

He has just started this school 2 months and got injured already!<\/p>\n

The next day we had a meeting in the principal office with the Principal Mark Bello, his teacher Hana Suh and the school nurse. \u00a0Mr. Bello apologized for what happened to William and promised that he would make sure the school is safe for all the children. \u00a0This happened because the school is under construction; and a piece of the fence was left there leaning against the other fences without anyone noticed. \u00a0So when William was walking by, that loose fence suddenly felt and hit William. \u00a0They said William did not cry that much; and that they took him to the school nurse to apply ice to his face.<\/p>\n

I received the call from school around 11:30 AM; so I came I picked him up right away. \u00a0He looked so bad with lots of scratches on his face. \u00a0I took the rest of the day off from work, took him home, fed him lunch and put him to bed for nap. \u00a0He didn’t want to each lunch at all; I tried to feed him his favorite Macaroni & Cheese but he refused, and 1 time he wanted to vomit.<\/p>\n

He drank his milk and felt asleep around 2:30 PM; woke up around 5:30 PM; he didn’t show any bad signs at all. \u00a0I’m glad!<\/p>\n

Update 2\/6\/2017<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Mrs. Hana called and said that they watched the video camera from the playground and found that the fence did not hit William. \u00a0 The fence was on the ground and\u00a0William tripped and felt on it when walking by; he tripped a SECOND TIME\u00a0when\u00a0trying to run to the teachers. \u00a0 It was a big fence, and no one noticed it? And when he felt the first time, no one noticed that to come and help him? Where were all the teachers and assistants?<\/p>\n

To be frank I’m glad to hear about this fact because the impact of tripping might be\u00a0much less than a big fence hit on him, I think!<\/p>\n

Update 2\/8\/2017<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Met with Mrs. Hana and Mr. Bello at his office to watch the video clip of the incident. \u00a0The camera angle is really far from where the incident so all I could see was a very small and blurry image of William running around (he was wearing a yellow sweatshirt) on the new concrete area which is next to the playground. \u00a0No one else was there at\u00a0that time. \u00a0He was walking\u00a0to the fence near the street to watch the cars passing by and walking around, jumping up and down looking very happy. \u00a0Then he felt with his forehead, stood up and then felt again on his butt. \u00a0It’s really blurry that I could not see if he hit the fence or on the ground. \u00a0Mr. Bello’s assumption is that by looking at the pictures that Mrs. Hana took, there was lots of concrete stuffs on his face so he said he might not hit the fence.<\/p>\n

Mr. Bello said there’s some skipping of the video that he didn’t see how William walked to this area from the playground.<\/p>\n

They said there was 3 adults supervised 8 children at the time; but 1 adult needed to go to the bathroom; and there was some issue that the other adults needed to resolve with the kids so no one really saw the whole incident. \u00a0When William ran to them for help, they saw the fence on the ground so they assumed that the fence felt on him. \u00a0This is why they told us this story the first time. According to them, they knew William was walking in that new area but wasn’t aware of the fence on the floor.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Hana said that she has changed her schedule to make sure at least 3 adults will supervise the kids when they’re on the playground to make sure no incident like this will happen again. \u00a0 And that the new concrete area is blocked for now; but they will open it when it’s ready (this is the bike area) and they will make sure at least 1 adult will watch this area.<\/p>\n

Update 2\/10\/2017<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

This morning when I dropped William off at class, I asked Mrs. Hana if I could have a copy of the images that she took. \u00a0She said yes. \u00a0But soon she called me and said that Mr. Bello said no video or images should be given to me.<\/p>\n

When I picked William up when school ended; Mrs. Hana said the picture that she took is AFTER William’s bruises were cleaned at the nurse office so it’s nothing different then what I saw when I picked him up on the day of incident. \u00a0I was hoping that if I could see the pictures of William right after he felt to see how bad it was\u00a0but I guess that was too much to ask.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
