Mother shares new details about what happened to her son, who was forced to swallow a magnetic bracelet at school. Video
The mother of a third-grader from Tashkent, who was forced to swallow a magnetic bracelet in a school restroom, has shared new details of the incident. According to her, after the incident, two upperclassmen threatened her child with violence and demanded that he remain silent about what happened.
In a new video, the woman reported that the child has already been transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward and is beginning rehabilitation. According to her, her son asked if those who did this to him had been found, and also asked the question: "Why me?"
As the victim's mother claims, during a lesson, the boy asked to go to the restroom, where he encountered two older students. One of them allegedly grabbed the child from behind, while the second opened his mouth and pushed the metal bracelet down his throat with his fingers. The boy was unable to call for help. After that, according to her, the schoolboys threatened to slash his face the next day if he told anyone about what happened.
Upon returning to class, the child was terrified. The mother claims that the teacher paid no attention to his state, even after the boy began to stutter while answering at the blackboard. Once at home, he began to experience pain, which subsequently required hospitalization and surgery.
The woman also disagrees with some previously circulated versions of the event. In particular, she denies that the child could have swallowed the bracelet on his own. The mother also claims that the school was not fully prepared for the school year at that time, and upperclassmen were moving desks and school supplies into the building for younger classes.
According to the woman, the school administration did not immediately offer assistance after learning about what happened. She believes that some of the circulated information may be an attempt to absolve those involved of responsibility, but emphasized that she does not want to accuse specific people without proof.
The mother intends, along with a lawyer, to identify those who, according to her version, harmed her son, as well as their parents. She stated that she will strive to put an end to such instances of violence in schools.
According to her, law enforcement officers demanded that she hand over an unfinished statement right at the hospital and refused to clearly identify themselves. After this, the woman tore up the document and stated that she intends to consult with a lawyer.
