MA - Employee of therapeutic boarding school dies after being kicked by a 14yo student

[airportwoman]

The school appears to be one of those "end of the line" schools, for kids with behavioral problems so severe they cannot live in the community, and the 14-year-old female suspect wanted to leave the dorm and the employee tried to stop her.

Whatever the circumstances, it's obviously a very tragic situation.

Is that all the charges that could be thrown at her considering the woman died? From your article:

The teen has been charged with assault and battery causing serious bodily injury.

ETA - To correct MSM's misspelling of the school. It's Meadowridge, not ...bridge.

It's a lovely looking school with a really nice mission. It's too bad the teen won't be benefiting from it.
