JUDSON -- A Judson ISD mother is furious her son was bullied and roughed up at school. She claims school officials are not taking their bullying policies seriously.
Adirius Wilson, an eighth grade student at Kitty Hawk Middle School , tells KENS 5 he was badly beaten by three students on Thursday during school hours.
"I have a sprained elbow, sprained finger and bruises all over my body" Adirius said.
He said sixth period had just ended. He was in the hallway when suddenly three boys dragged him into the restroom and began punching and kicking him while they were laughing.
"And I was just laying on the floor. Then I got up, then I tried to walk out of the door. It was painful and my ribs were hurting" Adirius said.
This isn't the first time Adirius has been bullied. He claims he was picked on by one of the three students last year.
"He pinned me against the wall and stole my backpack and money," Adirius recalled.
This time, this student isn't sure why they beat him, but his mother believes her son's small size makes him a target.
Sherrie Wilson says she is even more furious that the school did not call her until an hour after the incident when Adirius was already on the way home.
"Adirius is asthmatic. If they had hit him in the right place in the chest, he might have died right there on the floor and they would have been liable for this," Wilson said.
But Judson Independent School District spokesperson James Keith says they consider bullying a serious offense.
"We do our best to notify the parents as quickly as possible. The factors that you have to keep in mind in this situation are this happened at the end of the school day. That's not an unrealistic expectation at the end of the day to have an administrator call within an hour," Keith said.
On Monday, JISD said all three students were suspended, ticketed by police and recommended for alternative schooling.
However, Wilson is frustrated that the school didn't take action against the boys until Monday.
District officials say they couldn't do anything since icy weather on Friday shut down the district.
"They just brushed me off," Wilson said. "During that day, If they had time to get him to the office and make a statement and back and forth to look at the video, I think there was enough time to where they could have gotten those boys and spoke to them."
Adirius said he is concerned the students may return to school.
Judson District officials said a hearing will determine whether the boys will attend alternative schooling.
