A student in our school would surely be suspended or face
expulsion. Also, the police would have intervened. I'd question
the actions of the classroom teacher. In Indiana we must fill
out an accident report if any child is injured on school
property or on a school outing. I'd have your friend look into
this and do it quickly.
