Child says peer’s parent headbutted him
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. —
A mother in DeKalb County wants answers after her 11-year-old told her another parent came into his classroom and headbutted him.
Lynetrice Preston's son Keyondre is a fourth-grade student at Allgood Elementary School in Stone Mountain. Keyondre told Channel 2's Amy Napier Viteri another student's father came into his class Friday and asked for him.
"He put his hands behind my back like this and hit me on the head like that," Keyondre told Napier Viteri.
He said the man pushed him in the chest and threatened him because of an argument with the man's child.
"He said you tell your people I got people too," Keyondre said.
Preston said she wants to know how the man got into the school unsupervised.
"It's very scary that a parent can just walk into the school and walk to a classroom and do that to a student," Preston said.
She took Keyondre to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Thursday night because he still has headaches from the incident.
"The parent still comes to the school right now. I feel like he shouldn't be allowed to come in the school. I'm very angry," Preston added.
A DeKalb County Schools representative told Napier Viteri the district is investigating the incident and whether there was physical contact between the parent and Preston. They are also looking into whether staff followed protocol. All people entering the school are required to sign in and have an escort.
Preston said she spoke with a detective, who told her some students witnessed the attack. She is planning to seek a warrant next month in court. Keyondre said in the meantime, he is frightened of walking to school alone.
"My mom have to walk me to school every morning because I'm scared that he might try to do something else to me," he said.
