SAN ANTONIO--Candi Rodriguez said she's outraged after what happened to her six-year-old daughter at Riverside Park Academy elementary school.

"It was the worst feeling ever, " replied Rodriguez.

Rodriguez told News 4 WOAI her daughter had just been released from school when she was walking home with her older sister. "She had a seizure and she fell in front of the school, " Rodriguez went on to say. The incident occurred back on January 25th.

After the fall the child was taken to the nurse's office. "All that was done was she got wiped with some paper towels, the baby sitter was called and she was sent on her way, " replied Rodriguez.

Rodriguez said she was never notified about her daughters injuries. The injuries were so severe Rodriguez had to rush her daughter to the emergency room.  "What were they thinking sending her home?, " added Rodriguez. Rodriguez said to make matter worse her daughter is developmentally disabled and has trouble speaking.

"Unfortunately protocol was not followed, the parent should have been notified, " replied San Antonio ISD spokesperson Leslie Price.
Price went on to say school staff has been reminded on what they are supposed to do in these situations.

Rodriguez said that doesn't make things any better, " I would never wish this on any parent at all, " added Rodriguez.

Rodriguez has removed her child from Riverside Park Academy, and she's also filed a report with Child Protective Services.

The best thing to do is Home school your child because her illness is real serious and only a mother knows what to do in case of an emergency.

Photolex, I have to say usually I can't stand people complaining and making huge issues about things at schools ~ for the most part I see too many people just trying make a buck or get their face on the news, but in this case I must say I was surprised. I saw the picture posted of that girl on the news and I was shocked. Her face was really busted up good - it looked pretty bad. My sons school calls and notifies the parent even if it is a minor incident. Got a call telling me my son knocked his head on the desk when he went to pick up his pencil...they said they are required to report it to the parent. No blood, no bruise, nothing at all - just a simple knock on the head. So, I am amazed after seeing the picture of this girl that no one called the parent. I think the parent and EMS should have been called. Her picture is on a video on Kens http://www.kens5.com/news/Injured-kindergartener-sent-home-without-notifying-SAISD-parent-138364534.html, take a look....

It's SAISD did you expect more than a wipe with a paper towel?

SAISD is fairly ghetto. good for the mom to take this incompetence seriously and exposing it.

Lawsuit, make the school district pay for private school....That's the least that they should do. "Free Appropriate Education" this includes a safe environment.

How irresponsible for the school to not care about the safety of the child. Shame on them.
