Due to his age, a fourth-grader in Maryland who was a part of an event that led to a 7-year-old being hanged in a school restroom will not be charged.

The event took place at C. Barnhart Elementary School on November 15. After his mother posted the 7-year-old boy’s story on social media, it went viral.

The mother posted on social media that her second-grader had been hung in the boys’ restroom by a fourth grader.

My child was being taken to Children’s Hospital in Northwest, according to the most distressing phone call I have got from the school. My son is here by God’s grace, and for that I will always be thankful, even though I’m furious and flushed.

Since both kids belonged to the same demographic, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office concluded that the incident was not a hate crime.

The sheriff’s office said in a news release that there is no proof of any bias, race, or other forms of discrimination.

Even if the details of what happened in the restroom are still unknown, the information that is currently available does not point to the involvement of criminal intent.

In any case, the fourth-grader is too young to face criminal charges. A minor under the age of 13 cannot face criminal charges in Maryland.

Administrators told the school district that the youngster was hanged while playing horse with another pupil after his jacket got snagged on a hook. That doesn’t make sense, according to the mother of the 7-year-old.

How do you get caught on a hook if you’re horseplaying? WUSA9, she inquired. I want answers, we need answers, and we won’t give up until we do.
