A middle school student in California was left with severe brain and spine injuries after a student choked him, a lawsuit claimed.
The incident involved a 12-year-old victim and a 14-year-old student. The 14-year-old shoved the other student against a wall in a stranglehold at the Animo Westside Charter Middle School in Los Angeles, which receives funding from Bill and Melinda Gates via Green Dot, the complaint said. The organization Green Dot oversees the charter school.
