A Pennsylvania boy is currently in a medically induced coma after a schoolyard fight with classmates who he and
his family claims were bullying him.
Sixth-grader Baily O'Neil, an honors student, of Darby Township, Pa., was involved in a fight four weeks ago at
the Darby Township School. He was struck several times in the face by another student; the blow fractured his
nose and he fell to the ground.
His parents brought their son, who had a concussion, to the A.I. DuPont hospital in Wilmington, Del., where he
was treated and released. But his father saw that something wasn't quite right with their son when they
returned home.
"He was sleeping. He was moody. He wasn't himself. He was angry a little bit. He wasn't really eating," Bailey's
father Rob told ABC WPVI-TV.
Just a few days later, Bailey started having violent seizures and needed to be hospitalized again. The seizures
were so bad that doctors at A.I. DuPont were forced to put Bailey in a medically induced coma nearly two weeks
ago.
When contacted, A.I. DuPont Hospital was unable to provide an update to ABC News on Bailey's current
condition because of privacy laws. His father is trying his best to cope.
"Every day I'm trying to stay strong for him," he told WPVI-TV. "When you get into that hospital room and you're
looking at him, I would trade places in a heartbeat. It's my buddy, you know."
Southeast Delco School District Superintendent Stephen Butz told ABCNews.com the school has turned the
investigation over to local police and is cooperating fully with their efforts.
"We take bullying seriously," he said. "We are very concerned about the medical condition of the student and
our thoughts and prayers are with the family and students."
a)
According to Bailey's father, the boy who struck his son was suspended for two days following the incident, but
police have not filed any criminal charges in the case.
