A 7-year-old child student from Maryland feels “traumatized,” his mother says, after he was found hanged in an elementary school bathroom during an incident officials say was the result of “horseplay.”

The 2nd grade student from C. Paul Barnhart Elementary School in Waldorf is recovering Tuesday after being rushed to a children’s hospital late last week, according to Fox5 DC. His parents told WUSA9 that he suffered bruising to his neck and that “it’s not something he’s going to get over night.”

“He is traumatized. It will take time,” the child’s mother would have added.

One letter sent home to parents On Friday, Principal Carrie Burke wrote: “This afternoon, two of our students were horse playing in a school bathroom when one student’s jacket got caught on the hook of the stall door.”

“The student was unable to free himself and the other student involved was unable to help them. This student left the bathroom to seek help from staff and reported the incident to administrators,” Burke continued. “Administrators responded and were able to assist, but staff called 911 for additional precautionary medical assistance. For privacy reasons, I cannot share any further details with you.”

Charles County Public Schools Superintendent Maria Navarro then announced Monday that “disciplinary consequences are being imposed pursuant to the Charles County Public Schools Code of Student Conduct due to the serious nature of this incident.”

“As of today, we have gathered additional statements from staff and students and completed a thorough review of camera footage in the school. Based on our investigation so far, we have no reason to believe this was race-related or that there was any intent to harm anyone,” she said.

The district did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

Charles County Public Schools said over the weekend that “The incident is an active investigation and the school resource officer and the police help school administrators in this process.”

The boy’s mother told Fox5 DC that her son was sent to a children’s hospital on Friday before being released on Saturday.

The Charles County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident, according to Fox5 DC. (Fox5 DC)
