Broken bones and ANGRY ANGRY dads...

[candleman]

my son broke his arm.. OK, his friend broke it for him by pushing him off a slide and kicking him with another boy.
so the bend in the arm is a little reminder of the bend in his bone... similar place above the elbow.
unfortunatley he's right handed.. and it was his right arm that went.. so no more rugby for a while.


i'm still considering what to do, considering the school didnt tell us until three hours later when we got there to pick him up. and they didnt take him to the hospital either.

not acceptable.

They did not take him to hospital ???!!! That is outrageous I would consider some nice legal action for negligence then stress in him etc etc ... Jeeeez it makes you wonder what people are thinking at times..

Nice pic and hope he heals up ok .. shame about the rugby though but gives him something to look forward to mind you bet he will loath not being able to write in school

[ressalg]

Oh, my GOD!!! Didn't call or take him to the hospital???

I'd be raising a HUGE stink over the that one!!


Great shot, though... very nice PP work.

Hi Jared .. sorry about your son .. I hope he's doing ok .. I know a couple of Island boys that I can send to the school .. just kidding

And well deserved anger, indeed. A very creative shot, and an excellent exercise to help vent some anger. Hope everything works out well.

Man thats B class , ahem duty of care , ahem responsibility to the wellbeing of a child in their care , AHEM I smell a court case and some new lenses. I'd be chasing that one hard mate , hope he has a speedy recovery , All the best .

poor poor baby! And the school needs a good tongue lashing. Make sure every parent in the class knows - before you know it, the whole town will know about it - its amazing how stuff like that spreads.

Love the Pic BTW

First of all, I'm very sorry for your son. It's enough to get bullied but to get so severely hurt is just awful! I can't believe they didn't call you OR attend to him properly (hospital)! I know i'd be livid as well. I agree with Brad on this one, something "legal" needs to take place because they ignored their duty to protect and care for your child... completely negligent, and its up to you to make sure they learn from their mistake so that no other child has to go through what your son did. Aside from that... this is one cool pic! I hope that one day i'm as proficient with Photoshop as you because i have a whole slew of ideas i'd like to try! great job and sorry again about your son!

They should at least have called you

omg! that is just maddening, when my son fell from an 11 ft monkey bar and landed on his head, had a head injury that resulted in a MRI they didn't call me until much later when he couldn't find his way to his class and was wondering the halls and couldn't remember where he was, he was a 2nd grader at the time, I flipped out! to say the least, they thought I was the devil and they were in hell, ok bringing up old memories, whew, breath in breath out, hummmmm, anyway, ok great shot truly, very wild very cool
