Disabled five-year-old savagely beaten at cub scout meeting while scoutmaster left to vape: lawsuit
Summary
A lawsuit alleges that a five-year-old boy with developmental disabilities was severely beaten by a 12-year-old boy during a Cub Scout meeting in Ohio. The attack occurred while the scoutmaster was outside vaping, and the 12-year-old, who reportedly had a history of aggression towards the younger boy, punched and stomped on him, causing a serious thigh fracture. The victim, D.R., required emergency surgery and will likely suffer lifelong physical and psychological injuries. The family is suing the Boy Scouts of America, the scoutmaster, and the aggressor’s father, citing improper supervision given the aggressor’s known behavior. The mother of the victim stated she will never forget the sound of her son's scream.
