I am writing in hopes that I can get support for the upcoming parole hearing for the boy who asaulted my son at school while he was defending another student who was being bullied. The boy had to be pulled off my son after knocking him to the ground and jumping on his head with both feet four times!! His response? "I guess I just lost it". My son was brought back twice before he even made it to the hospital and we were told that he would not make it. Well, because he lost it, my son is now 2 years and 4 mos. post TBI that has him currently receiving treatment in a brain injury facility out of state.
The system wants to let this kid out on April 5th!! My son has a lifetime sentence and this boy should have to stay and at least finish his sentence till the age of 21! He plead guilty to "assault and battery with intent to kill and was sentenced to age 21!!! He was supposed to have been transferred to an adult facility when he turned 17 and he is still being held in the juvenile system because of "good behavior"!!!! Well, something is definately wrong with that picture!!! This will be his 4th hearing and we were told this will be the last because they probably will release him. So, I am asking for fellow brain injury victims and their families to send a letter opposing the parole of this vicious person who took my son and turned him into a completely different person. He was only trying to help his fellow classmate. If you would like to help, please send your letter to me at lorieanngiacinti@hotmail.com. If you would like to read a current story, you can log onto www.abcnews4.com and type "family fights for justice" into the search area if it does not come up with the link.
I really don't know what else to do help keep this criminal behind bars where he deserves to be. If at least till he is 21. As you all know, a brain injury not only changes the victims life, but the whole family. And, it is a lifetime change. I know that it is not going to make my son better, but at least give us some peace of mind. When you do the crime, you do the time.
Bless each and everyone of you, I keep you in my prayers daily just as I do my son.

What injustice. Lorie might want to send a copy of her letter to Dr. Phil. I heard that he devoted one or two shows to the problem of bullying.
That boy got paroled. The school district is considering letting him back in school.
Just unbelievable!
