Bullied 11-Year-Old in Coma After Hit In Face Many Times
Sixth grader Bailey O’Neill is now in coma. The 11-year-old boy was bullied in school by a couple of kids who hit him in the face several times fracturing his nose, and knocking him down, causing a concussion.
Bailey’s parents had him checked out at the hospital, but something still wasn’t right.
“He was sleeping. He was moody. He wasn’t himself. He was angry a little bit. He wasn’t really eating,” O’Neill said.
A few days later, Bailey took a turn for the worse and started having violent seizures.
Doctors at A.I. duPont Hospital for Children were forced to put Bailey into a medically induced coma almost two weeks ago.
“Every day I’m trying to stay strong for him, but when you get into that hospital room and you’re looking at him, I would trade places in a heartbeat. It’s my buddy, you know,” O’Neill said.
Bailey is an honor student, an athlete, and a big brother.
Police haven’t filed any charges in the ongoing investigation.
