“As a parent, your worst fear comes to light when you get that call from your kid crying in school, ‘Mom, help me. I’m scared. There’s blood everywhere,’” Stephanie Palovack, a parent of a Pennbrook student, said.Some parents who attended the meeting weren’t satisfied with how the situation was handled and demanded answers on whether or not school officials were warned prior to the attack.

“I called the school on two separate occasions,” Santiago said. “Tuesday and Wednesday to inform them of this child who was going to ‘curb stomp’ my daughter or make my daughter bite the curb. And I was assured that my daughter was safe.” Bauer also said the victim was released from the hospital hours after the attack and that the families of both the attacker and the victim are asking for privacy.On April 20, Bauer sent a letter to the North Penn community in response to both the attack and the school board meeting.
