The boy's mom says another child held a sharpened pencil under his knee when her son went to kneel on the ground, fracturing her son's patella and causing a painful infection.
"Today, though, the good news is that he walked, on his own for the first time without pain, so his spirits are great," said Madeline Flores.
She says her son continues to suffer from severe pain in his right knee, an injury that happened at Corona Ranch Elementary School last week."My son was going to see the whiteboard, to reference it for his schoolwork so he could finish it, and when he went to kneel the little boy was behind him, and he held the pencil with the tip pre-sharpened, up like this," she said, miming a pencil resting vertically on its eraser.
"When my son's knee came down on it, it came down, it went all the way through, it fractured his patella," she said. That then led to a Strep A infection. "The hospital here, they were able to work fast, and get him into surgery quick enough to prevent it from spreading into the blood," she said. Madeline Flores says the boy who injured Carter also punched him on at least two prior occasions since the beginning of the school year.Business
