Hazards at work, 20

Stories like this is always sad, more so when you know there are available methods on how to intervene that are safer for all parties involved.
What is really something is the comment from the mother:
"The girl's mother has said the principal bears some responsibility for the incident, saying Johnson should not have had physical contact with the student."
Talk about getting things out of proportions! For sure - your "baby" is perfect. Can't possibly be anything she did wrong ...
No wonder some kids are out of line, when see and hear their parents.

Story:
Grand Rapids -- Union High Principal Janice Johnson said she wants to return to school, but injuries suffered in a student assault could mean her return is months away.

Meanwhile, the 14-year-old student -- who faces charges for assault and resisting an officer -- was expelled Friday after a disciplinary hearing.

Johnson injured her back and head December 15 after being struck by the student and falling down an embankment while breaking up a fight.

The girl's mother has said the principal bears some responsibility for the incident, saying Johnson should not have had physical contact with the student.
