'Kids feel like school is a safe place and that has been taken away.' Boston school shaken by attack
As classes dismissed Wednesday afternoon, Principal Patricia M. Lampron ordered a 16-year-old girl to leave the grounds of the Dr. William Henderson Inclusion School, angering the teenager who responded by allegedly punching Lampron, according to a Boston police report.
The report, released to the Globe under a public records request, provided new details about the violent incident witnessed by students and staff at the K-12 Dorchester school that ended with the 61-year-old Lampron unconscious and a second staff member injured. The juvenile was taken into custody by Boston police and school security officers.
Lampron was unconscious for four minutes and visibly distressed when she regained consciousness, police wrote. She was rushed to a Boston hospital with serious injuries Wednesday, but is now recovering at home, the school department said. Her family provided an update on her condition on social media.
“Anyone who knows her knows how passionate she is about this school, its students and the Henderson School community. ... She will need time and support to recover from her injuries,” her family wrote. “She wants everyone to know that there is NO place for violence in our schools.”

Two things;
1. I wish our species would get its act together but I am losing hope by the day.
2. Not excuse this in any way but, it is Dorchester, one of the most hardcore "bad neighborhoods" in the greater Boston area, on par with Billerica or Roxbury.
