A Texas school has gone so far as to suspending a teenager because he helped a fellow classmate who was in a potentially deadly situation.
A mother is defending her son who was suspended after helping a fellow student having an asthma attack.
Anthony Ruelas, 15, said his eighth grade classmate was wheezing and gagging for three minutes Tuesday morning while no one did anything. But when Ruelas did do something, he apparently broke the rules.
Ruelas goes to Gateway Middle School, an alternative school in the Killeen Independent School District in Texas. Ruelas has been suspended before, but Tuesday was different.
“I wasn’t trying to hear it,” said Cortez. When she picked her son up from school for the suspension she told him,”No, they already told me what happened you walked out of class, and he was like ‘ok forget it’, but I can tell, ya know you know your kids, I could tell he was upset.”
