MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — A boy is out of the intensive care unit (ICU) and recovering at home after reportedly being choked on a Clarksville-Montgomery County school bus back in October , which ultimately led to emergency brain surgery.
After spending more than two months at hospitals, including Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and an out-of-state rehab hospital, 12-year-old Hayden Horton is finally back home.
However, Jamie Horton said she has some serious questions about why nobody is being charged for the unprovoked attack on a school bus that almost killed her child.
News 2 spoke to the mother and son on Wednesday, Jan. 8 over FaceTime. Hayden was initially reluctant to speak, but he warmed up quickly and said he’s “doing good.”
