Bucks County father seeks answers after son attacked at Keystone Elementary – NBC10 Philadelphia

Theo

A parent turned to TikTok after his son, a Keystone Elementary School student, was injured at school on May 16 and hospitalized.

Stephen Callahan posted a video on TikTok calling out the Bristol Township School District for his son being attacked by another student and hospitalized due to the negligence of a teacher’s aid.

Callahan said his five-year-old son, Grayson, now has a cut on his forehead and had two teeth knocked out when an older student attacked him in the Croydon cafeteria last Thursday.

“I was horrified. Parent mode is activated. I hear my son screaming and am told I have to go to the hospital. I just have to get him out of there,” Callahan said.

According to the Bristol Township School District, a kindergarten student was injured when he was pushed by a fourth-grade student in the special education program at the Bucks County Intermediate Unit.

The school district says the BCIU employees are not district employees and that the unit is investigating the incident.

NBC10 has reached out to BCIU but has not yet heard back.

Callahan’s video on TikTok has more than 1.3 million likes and over 6 million views.

The family now has a lawyer and believes the school has surveillance footage of the incident that they want to see. But they say school administrators have not released a video, if there is one.

“Please note that certain information may not be shared due to legal privacy and confidentiality protections for all children in our public schools,” the school district said in a statement they released.

“I have a 5-year-old who didn’t want to go to his kindergarten graduation because he was too scared to go to school because he thought something would happen to him. “What would you do if you were me?” Callahan said.

The family is now taking Grayson out of school and considering homeschooling him for the next school year.

“Is his school doing well with him? “Has his school done its job to protect him because I feel helpless,” Callahan said.
