The family of [13-year-old Columbus, Georgia] student Montravious Thomas claim that behavioral specialist, Bryant Mosley, physically attacked the young student on his first day at AIM/Edgewood Student Services Center on Sept. 12.
[The family's attorney] Renee Tucker, [said that the boy], who was the only student in the classroom, wanted to leave the classroom to call his mother from the main office to pick him up. As Thomas tried to leave the classroom, Mosley slammed him to the floor. When he tried to leave again, he was slammed to the floor again. It's not clear how [many] times this occurred.
Tucker said that assistant principal Eddie Powell reportedly witnessed the incident and a school resources officer observed Thomas limping after the alleged attack.
Thomas was allegedly told that school officials would call an ambulance, but changed their minds. Once classes were dismissed, Mosley carried an injured Thomas to an idle school bus without notifying his family of the events that had transpired.
[...] Since the alleged incident, Thomas has undergone four surgeries. Doctors at Egleston Children's Hospital informed the family on Oct. 16 that [Thomas'] nerve damage was so severe, his right leg would have to be amputated.
U.S. Uncut further reports
The boy's mother was forced to be absent from [work] while [caring] for son and ultimately lost [her job].
Inside sources have reported that the school is in possession of a videotape of the confrontation and the boy's attorney has submitted an open records request to gain possession of the footage in addition to 50 documents related to the incident. They plan to sue the school for $5 million.
[..] Mosley works for Mentoring and Behavioral Services, which claims to conduct "holistic behavior approaches" to student discipline. Mosley is no longer working with the school district, though it has not been confirmed at this time whether this was a result of his confrontation with the student.

Further details from The Washington Post :
A 13-year-old student in Georgia was badly injured after a behavioral specialist slammed him to the ground multiple times while at school last month, the boy's attorney [ Renee Tucker] said.
Montravious Thomas's injuries — which included a fractured tibia, a dislocated knee and permanent nerve damage — were so severe that his right leg had to be amputated on Tuesday.
[...] Tucker said there were at least three other school employees who saw the incident, but no one took the boy to the hospital after he yelled in pain and said his right leg was numb. Instead, [behavioral specialist Bryant] Mosley carried Montravious to the school bus, and he was driven home.
His mother took him to the hospital, where they arrived around 3:30 p.m. — about 90 minutes after the incident was alleged to have happened.
"The leg was never stabilized until he got to the hospital," Tucker said.
The boy was airlifted to a hospital in Atlanta that night for further examination. Over the next month, Montravious went through four surgeries to save his right leg, Tucker said. It was amputated Tuesday night, and he will soon have to go through physical therapy.

Actually it just sounds like the kid was an unmanageable dirtbag, and something bad happened to him. I don't really waste time worrying about what happens to unmanageable dirtbags.

I love how you assume the authoritarian power here was instantly correct, the kid was an unmanageable dirtbag according to you (what fucking evidence you douche?), and therefore, deserved the violence upon him AT 13 YEARS OLD, to lose a leg.
The actual facts are that he was a special needs student in a special needs school and was unconscionably abused by an ostensibly trained adult who covered up their activities. The 13 year old boy lost a leg.
You're a complete total piece of shit aren't you? Likewise, I won't be losing sleep when anything happens to you.

"Special needs" sounds a lot like "pain in the a--". He's so special needs that he couldn't be dealt with in a normal environment and we had to create a whole entire school for people like him. Then, in that special school he's so much in the bottom echelon that tossing him on the ground daily is the only way to deal with him. I propose this means:
1. He is a unmanageable dirtbag.
You propose that:
2. He is a little angel.
What evidence do you have to suggest he wasn't an unmanageable, annoying, dirtbag? You assume he's a little angel, I assume because they have to toss him on the ground every day he's a fing nightmare. If someone describes this scenario to me and tells me they have to toss this kid on the ground every day because he's unmanageable and can he stay at your house for a week? No. If your answer is "Sure, he sounds like an angel!" then that's your prerogative I suppose.
I'll waste time worrying that we don't spend enough resources on the top 1%-5% of society in gifts that will propel us forward not having a special needs school dedicated to them in assisting them to greatness...and instead having that money spent on a special needs school to sequester kids that can aspire to nothing.

As Charon said, you're a vile person. Keep doubling down all you want. You can't excuse violence against children that causes them to lose limbs. You can't. You're only excuse is that they're not as human as we are, and subsequently, don't deserve to be free of violence. After all, they're the dredges of society that are better solved by eugenics right?
But keep trying. By all means. Show us how vile you are towards children, and your willingness to abandon them to their fates. Show us the wisdom in mentally and physically torturing a child. For whatever reason.
Continue.

Obviously no one intended to have anyone lose limbs. People can trip, fall, and die..but that doesn't make that the expected outcome of falling.
According to a police report seen by the Ledger-Enquirer, Bryant Mosley, described as a "behavioral specialist," told officers he had to "physically restrain a student due to behavioral issues." The school district says Mosley is an outside contractor trained in "preventing and managing aggressive behavior." The district says there were "issues concerning the safety of the child and others in the room"
Let a violent student rampage over other children, or attempt to control him physically. I guess you choose rampage.
