Rattlesnake Strikes Amarillo Child
Children, required by law to attend school, have a right to safe classrooms, cafeterias, and playgrounds. A rattlesnake in Amarillo, Texas, however, has proved that the Bushland school district isn’t doing enough to protect the rights of the children in their custody.
A five year-old kindergartner at Bushland Elementary School was playing in the school soccer field yesterday when a rattlesnake bit him. Rattlesnake bites cause a variety of harms that can be as mild as nausea or as severe as heart failure. Importantly, children often experience more severe symptoms because the amount of venom injected into their body is relatively large, given their small size.
