The mother of a 10-year-old who attends P.S. 69 Journey Prep in the Bronx is demanding answers about why her learning-disabled son was left alone outside school after being treated for a possible concussion.<\/p>\n
Yomarlyn Rosario’s son, Liam, has learning disabilities, including dyslexia, which is documented with the school.<\/p>\n
He fell in gym class last Friday and hit his head when he was sent to the nurse for a possible head injury.<\/p>\n
The nurse evaluated him and told Rosario to look out for any symptoms of a concussion but that Liam said he was well enough to go back to class.<\/p>\n
P.S. 69 Journey Prep has three separate buildings, and Liam’s class is multiple streets away from the building he was treated in.<\/p>\n
Due to his disability, he cannot read street signs, which requires him to be escorted from building to building.<\/p>\n
Rosario says Liam was found by a staff member in the middle of the street, scared and alone.<\/p>\n
She says with the possibility of a head injury mixed with his disability, he should have never been sent to walk back by himself.<\/p>\n
“I watch News 12 and I see missing kids all the time.. that could have been my 10-year-old son,” says Rosario about how he could have been kidnapped.<\/p>\n
The principal of the school responded with an email that read in part..”\u2026 I cannot express how regretful I am that Liam had to experience this incident in our school community\u2026”<\/p>\n
The Department of Education is also investigating the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The mother of a 10-year-old who attends P.S. 69 Journey Prep in the Bronx is demanding answers about…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39778,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-39777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
