I do..as I just said. And there should be MULTIPLE ADULTS MONITORING, not ONE.

No one at the school is making your claims....

What claims are those?

How exactly does that solve the problem? How about improving public schools? How about trying to solve the legal culture that leads to the obsession with liability?

Horrible. it's crazy how flukey head injuries can be. Someone can take a complete beating and be OK, someone can die from a single blow or hit to their head.

That should be a lesson to anybody that is quick to fight and throw a punch. one punch and you could be charged with murder or manslaughter

Not sure why people are making assumptions about how the school reacted when the article provided no information about that.

Also, you want to blame how teachers are supposed to respond to things, go complain to the ambulance chasing lawyers and parents that are so quick to sue the school if something happened. Like breaking up a fight, and then the parents go and sue the school and teacher.

Thank the litigious nature of this country

Exactly. From one report it's alleged the girl began vomiting and then fell unconscious. Sounds like major concussion happened in some manner so unless a teacher or school official was withing inches to stop the attack I'm not sure what could have prevented this.

I was in a fight in 6th grade. I wasn't raised in a home with any violence, this kid just bugged me so we duked it out. A teacher broke us up, and our punishment was skipping afternoon recess in order to clean up the cafeteria, for a week I believe it was. Oh and my parents just kept asking me what was I thinking??

How about zero tolerance on violence in the school? Injure another student and you are out, expelled, same day. That's how it should be IMHO
 
I wonder where people might stand on this if they learn the girl that died actually initiated this alleged confrontation?

And no, I'm not saying she was, I'm just considering it's entirely possible.

Doesn't matter. No excuse for this kind of crap.

Well it matters in the sense that people are calling for the other student or her parents to be brought up on charges. And the fact that this isn't something that hasn't been around as long as schools.

The other student SHOULD be charged, absolutely. They cause the loss of life of another human being...

Not to this extent. And not among children, certainly. A child who is violent enough to actually kill another needs to be confined from society. They are likely mentally unwell or otherwise predisposed to this kind of behavior...

From the description of this girl's symptoms it seems very likely she suffered a severe concussion. The simple act of falling and hitting ones head can certainly cause that. So the reality is tripping someone is hardly some crazed act of violence but it could result in head trauma.

'Hopefully'? You know for certain that that won't happen. (I don't think it should - the people who should be jailed are the adults who let this happen - but that's irrelevant).

I suppose so...

Look, I get what you are saying. Truthfully, I got bullied plenty myself at school, in early age. Throughout my whole formative years, really. Back in Russia. And here in Canada too, though much less and much less violently than back in the old country lol

I had urges to lash back out too. To hit back. To hurt the other guy in return. I never did. Because, truthfully, my mother always had taught me better. Expected better from me, at least. And any the I wanted to punch someone, I would suddenly imagine her face, right in front of me, looking at me with disapproval. And suddenly, the fight just wasn't worth it lol Walked away peacefully from plenty of confrontations, thanks to her. Always will be grateful to her first that. God knows, certainly among Russian parents, she was and would be today, by far, a minority, in teaching her son that using your fists to solve problems with other kids is not the right answer...

Not sure if that's true in America. I hope your country is better than that... Violence, certainly among children, should never, ever be a solution...

@16 a boy spit in my face. I calmly considered my options, I wiped it off and walked away. Here is how i look at it, you hit me once, i am hit no matter how i react, nothing will change that, it happened.

But try and hit or spit on me twice...
 
Very bizarre outcome on this one.

A 10-year-old Colleton County girl died from natural causes and not from any trauma caused by a classroom fight in March, according to a pathological report in the death investigation.

Fourteenth Circuit Solicitor Duffie Stone told reporters Friday morning that Raniya Wright died from a medical condition known as an arteriovenous malformation, or AVM, in her brain.

“In this case, the science is very clear,” Stone said. “The science shows us her death was natural.”

Stone classified the condition as a “birth defect” and said there was no sign of trauma on Wright’s body.

Parents angry over lack of answers from South Carolina school board after 5th-grader dies following classroom fight: 'It makes no sense'

Parents in a South Carolina community say they are irate by the lack of information being shared by school board members after the death of Raniya Wright, a fifth-grader who was gravely injured during a classroom fight with another student.

Raniya, 10, died Wednesday morning after she was involved in what authorities called a physical altercation with another girl Monday at Forest Hills Elementary School in Walterboro, according to the Colleton County Sheriff's Office.


In a statement on its website, the district said that after the "fight" occurred in Raniya's classroom, "school administrators promptly secured the scene, ended the fight and called emergency medical services to the school."

Spare me all the BULL**** attempts to pretend this was not an outrage , that could have EASILY BEEN PREVENTED.

NO, not "HUNDREDS OF KIDS AT RECESS"....IN HER CLASSROOM, she was FATALLY BEATEN...

Not according to the final autopsy report.

No evidence school fight contributed to death of 10-year-old girl, prosecutor says

South Carolina fifth grader Raniya Wright — the student who died last month after a fight at her elementary school — died of natural causes, and there's no evidence the fight contributed to her death, prosecutor Duffie Stone said Friday.

"There was no evidence of trauma on or inside her body ... that would indicate that any fight (of) any magnitude contributed to her death," Stone, the area solicitor, said at a news conference.

"There will be no criminal charges brought."

Raniya, 10, died of a blood vessel rupture in her brain related to a birth defect — an arteriovenous malformation — that was ready to take place anytime, and the "fight did not have anything to do with" her death, Stone said.

She was involved in a "five- to 10-second slap fight" with another student in a classroom at Forest Hills Elementary in Walterboro on March 25, and a teacher separated them, Colleton County Sheriff R.A. Strickland said Friday. Raniya had no sign of and complained of no injury, but she did complain of a headache about 10 minutes later at the principal's office.

Authorities have said she then lost consciousness, and medics took her to a hospital. She died March 27 at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

Stone said Raniya had visited a doctor at least six times related to headaches since February 2017, including 13 days before the fight.

"The headaches are a manifestation (of) this type of condition," he said.

"It was a matter of time."

Unfortunately it sounds like she was a ticking time bomb with an undiagnosed issue that could have taken her down at any given time.

If this wasn't so sad I'd laugh at your comment. She was NOT beaten to death in her classroom Grok. And no, I'm not employed by the prosecutors office who made the announcement.

I hope the family sues the school district for Millions and gets it. Also time to recall the school board and vote in board members with some guts.

Perhaps, but it is very unusual for a 10-year old to 'die of natural causes". I think it needs to be investigated what truly caused her death.

Yes it's unusual for a healthy 10 year old. When they have a rare undiagnosed condition like she apparently had then it can (and apparently) can take them out suddenly.

There is also the factor that there was absolutely no trauma to her body. People who have been beaten to death shows signs.

What exactly are they going to sue for? Did the school give her the birth defect? As the article states there was a slap fight of a few seconds, the teach stepped in. Her death was not a result of anything the school did or didn't do.
