6'6", 270-Pound Black Student Sues Florida School After Viral Video of Attack Over Nintendo Switch
Apr 27, 2024, 04:07 PM
Brendan Depa, an 18-year-old black student from Flagler County Public School in Florida, has filed a lawsuit against the school district after he, a 6'6", 270-pound autistic student, physically attacked a teacher's aide. The lawsuit claims the school failed to manage Depa's known behavioral triggers related to his autism, which include a threat to take away his Nintendo Switch. Depa, described as a 'ticking time bomb,' allegedly attacked the aide after she threatened to confiscate his gaming device. The incident, captured on a viral video, has sparked a debate about the responsibility of schools in managing students with known behavioral issues.
