In reply to the discussion: Nurse refuses student inhaler during asthma attack [View all]SunSeeker
(51,550 posts)Per the updated article, "'The administrator took the student into his office and kept him there until mom was at the school,' said Nancy Wait, spokeswoman of the Volusia County Schools."
Per the original article, "[the boy's mother] rushed to the office and was taken back to the nurse's office by school administrators and they discovered the teen on the floor." Wait does not dispute that.
So these jackasses obviously were on full notice that this kid was in severe distress; plus the school's own rules require that they call 911 if a student has trouble breathing (duh--like you need a rule like that, but I guess with people like this you need that spelled out).
I sure hope my 8 year old is never put at the mercy of idiots like these--especially the moron who locked a gasping kid in his office. How the hell did he think he or the nurse could keep tabs on the kid's breathing through a locked door? Hell, even when when the kid slumped down to the floor, they did not call 911. They could have easily killed this kid. This is blatant child endangerment.
