MOBILE, AL. Bullying at schools nationwide has been on the rise for years with some elevating to egregious and vicious attacks leaving students injured and afraid.
Along the Gulf Coast, we have seen a number of these incidents and now an unnamed 17-year-old McGill-Toolen High School student has been indicted on assault charges after an investigation into a civil lawsuit over an alleged bullying incident.
The investigation substantiated that a 15-year-old was assaulted and injured in the incident.
The civil lawsuit states that an upperclassman urinated on a freshman football player while he was taking a shower on at least two occasions. In retaliation, the freshman urinated in a bottle and poured it on the upperclassman while he was taking a shower. Shortly after, the mother who filed the lawsuit said her son was “ambushed” by the upperclassman when he threw an aerosol can of deodorant and hit him in the head. The boy suffered vision loss and a brain injury and had to undergo surgery.
It is unknown how soon after the alleged assault occurred that police were notified.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Mobile, McGill-Toolen High School, and those serving as principal, athletic director and football coach at the time of the incidents are listed as defendants in the lawsuit.
The nine-count lawsuit alleges negligence and other violations of policy and hiring practices.
