August Borden's Condition and Recovery

  • πŸ’” August Borden, a 15-year-old football player, is on a long road to recovery after sustaining severe injuries, including a concussion, orbital fractures, and a skull fracture.
  • πŸ₯ He has been released from the hospital, is able to walk and talk, but faces months of specialist appointments for both physical and mental recovery.
  • 🏈 Tragically, August will never play another contact sport again, a devastating loss of his dream.
  • ⚠️ A shocking new detail revealed is that August technically died for a period after losing his pulse, a fact not initially disclosed to his family.

Discrepancies in the Official Narrative

  • ❓ The family disputes the school's initial explanation that August suffered injuries from a traumatic fall, possibly down stairs.
  • 🩺 Medical professionals have stated that August's injuries are not consistent with a fall.
  • πŸ€₯ The medical report indicated that school staff told paramedics August had been acting strange and throwing up all day, which the family states is untrue.
  • 🏈 The school also suggested a prior football scrimmage injury might be the cause, despite August passing all concussion checks and practicing afterward.

Investigation and Jurisdictional Changes

  • πŸš“ The Tuscumbia Police Department initially investigated but transferred the case to the Franklin County Juvenile Probation Office, with assistance from the Madison County District Attorney's Office.
  • βš–οΈ The local DA reportedly recused himself due to potential conflicts of interest, leading to the transfer to Madison County, which is two hours away.
  • 🚫 Despite initial reports, Franklin County is not involved; the investigation is solely with the Madison County District Attorney's Office.
  • πŸ—£οΈ The family feels the local small-town environment created impartiality issues, with many connected to the school, making an objective investigation difficult.

School's Response and Lack of Accountability

  • 🏫 The Tuscumbia City School Superintendent stated limitations due to privacy laws and an ongoing investigation, emphasizing the school's immediate focus on medical care.
  • πŸ“Ή There are no security cameras at the specific location where the incident allegedly occurred.

Call to Action and Public Support

  • πŸ“’ The family believes public attention, including interviews and advocacy, has been crucial in pushing for a more thorough investigation and transfer of jurisdiction.
  • πŸ“§ A dedicated email address, [email protected], has been set up for anyone with information or eyewitness accounts.
  • πŸ“£ The family urges anyone with information to come forward and tell the truth, even if approached by the district attorney's office.
  • πŸ™ The community is asked to remember August and his family, and to understand that the current situation stems from the school's initial response and alleged lack of transparency.
