According to the teen's grandmother, she attempted to call the school numerous times but no one answered, so she texted her grandson. The child's mother reports the taser prods were stuck in his back and the doctor had to "dig them out." The Lucas County Sheriff's Office says they are not investigating the incident but rather the school will handle it.
