How were a 2nd grader and 4th grader alone long enough, in the bathroom no less, for this to happen? And surely if the 2nd grader was hoisted up on to a hook there would have been noise happening?

How long was the child stuck? And why would a 4th grader be alone with a 2nd grader that long?

It’s not horseplay to lift another child that far up to suspend them from a hook!! Maybe I’m missing something- moo

Not a case of accidental horseplay as I see it- and yell for help if needed… something isn’t adding up… the 2nd grader had to be lifted up

Why were they in a stall together?
